Typically, clearance days at the Community Development Service (CDS) commence on the first day of the month and run until the 10th.

However, in LGAs with a large number of corps members, the date might vary or be split into batches or streams.

How to Check NYSC Monthly Clearance on the Portal

Here are the steps to check your monthly clearance:

1. Visit the NYSC portal via https://portal.nysc.org.ng/
2. Log in to your dashboard using your email and password.

4. You will find a table indicating whether you are “Absent” or “Present” for the current and past months.
5. To see your full attendance history, you can increase the list from 10 to 20.

The thumbprint is automatically recorded on your portal. Sometimes, you may experience delays due to network issues.

Requirements for NYSC Documentation

4. Photocopy of your ID card (front and back).
5. Relocation approval letter (if you redeployed).
6. Three passport photographs.

Can I Do NYSC Clearance Without a PPA?

Yes, it is possible to do your clearance without having a PPA. The Local Government Inspector (LGI) needs to be aware of your situation, whether you were rejected, reposted, or redeployed.

If you were dismissed at your PPA, you will need a rejection letter as proof.

Why Does My NYSC Dashboard Show “Absent”?

If your NYSC dashboard displays “Absent,” it means you were not present on your LGA Monthly Clearance date.

However, in some cases, this might be due to a network delay or equipment issues. If you suspect this is the case, inform the LGI promptly. Failure to do so may result in not receiving your monthly stipend.

In situations where corps members were present but not paid at the end of the month, draft a letter to the LGI, including the Letterhead of the state coordinator and secretariat.

Ensure your bank details and initials are included in the letter.
