A statement issued by the Ag. Executive Director, Ussif Mustapha, said the postponement is to afford ample time to all stakeholders in the registration process to adequately prepare for the registration.

“All prospective national service personnel and the general public are to note that the new period of registration would be from Monday, 24th July, 2017 to Thursday, 24th August, 2017 at all the NSS registration centres across the country,” the statement said.

It said requirements for the registration, including provision of students’ identity card, in addition to any one of the national identity cards, namely a valid Voter I.D., passport or drivers’ license remain the same.

Health Insurance cards would NOT be accepted.
