Official Passing-Out Date Has Been Announced
The NYSC management has officially announced that Thursday, November 6, 2025, is the date when all 2024 Batch ‘C’ Stream 1 members will pass out. This is the day you have been waiting for since you started your service year. The management has approved this date and has informed all state offices across Nigeria.
This year’s passing-out ceremony will be a low-key event. That means there won’t be any large celebrations. But don’t worry, the important thing is that you have successfully completed your service year. Congratulations to all of you who have reached this point!
What You Need to Know About the Passing-Out Activities
Before the main passing-out day, several activities will take place. NYSC has arranged everything properly. Please read this section carefully so you don’t miss any important steps.
Pre-Passing Out Activities You Must Attend
