Difference Between NYSC Revalidation and Remobilization

Prospective and serving corps members have been asking the same question, what is the difference between NYSC revalidation and remobilization? Let’s take a moment to clarify a few things.
Revalidation and remobilization exercise comes in every batch and streams. Read this carefully to the end so you can learn the differences between the two and step by step on how to revalidate or remobilize.
NYSC Revalidation
This happens when you registered for mobilization and you are deployed to a state in Nigeria for service, but due to one reason or the other, you are unable to go to the NYSC orientation camp.
For any reason best known to you, without having to explain yourself to the NYSC official or being sanctioned, you are allowed to defer your service.
If by the next stream or batch mobilization, you are ready to ready to answer the clarion’s call, that’s when you do revalidation.
How to Register for NYSC Revalidation
NYSC revalidation is done by logging in to your dashboard without having to re-register afresh like you did when you were registering for mobilization, all you have to do is login to your NYSC dashboard and check if you have been deployed to an orientation camp in Nigeria.
It is safe to say that revalidation, starting from Batch A stream 1 of the 2021 mobilization, is AUTOMATIC. Yes, it is automatic, corpers who did not report to the orientation camp or deferred service will be mobilized automatically with the next stream or batch.
These continual postings will be done by NYSC with no action required from the affected Corpers.
Note: You can only revalidate for the stream you did the online registration for, what I mean is, let’s assume you registered for Batch A Stream I, and you received your call-up letter but you did not go to the orientation camp.
Anytime you are ready to go to the camp, you cannot follow another stream. You can’t follow Batch A stream II, but you can follow Batch B stream I etc. You can read more about the differences between stream I and stream II.
NYSC Remobilization
There are some people who will report to the orientation camp, take part in the early-on registration, but left the camp for a reason or without the permission of the NYSC officials, even with the permission, these set of people are subjected to remobilization.
Also there are some people did the registration and take part in the camp activities but are dismissed from the camp after being caught with santionable action, these will equally be subjected to remobilization.
Likewise, there are people who did registration at the camp, took part in all the camp activities, left the camp with other corpers but failed to report to their Place of Primary Assignment PPA, these will equally expected to enroll for the remobilization.
Remobilization is a corrective measure that allows these individuals to resume their service from where they left off.
For remobilization, the corps member must apply through the NYSC portal, providing valid reasons for their inability to complete their service previously. They must also refund any allowances received during their initial service period before they can be considered for remobilization.
How to Register for NYSC Remobilization
In order to do NYSC remobilization, follow these steps:
Visit the NYSC mobilization portal and locate news/link for remobilization or via https://portal.nysc.org.ng/nysc3/RemobInterest.aspx
A form will open for you to provide the following information:
- Previous Call-Up Numbers
- Previous State Code
- Previous Batch
- Previous Deployment State
This information is enough to know why you are applying for remobilization. And of course, your application will go through approval process. Once it is approved, you will be eligible for remobilization.
For NYSC remobilization, apart from the aforementioned information, concerned married corpers members will be required to scan and upload the information documents:
- Evidence of a state of residence of husband
- Evidence of marriage
- Identity of husband
- Newspaper change of name
- Letter from employer/utility bills.
The Key Difference
The primary distinction between revalidation and remobilization lies in the stage at which the corps member’s service was interrupted. Revalidation is for those who never reported to the orientation camp, while remobilization is for those who began but did not finish their service year.
Another significant difference is the procedural requirements. Revalidation is a straightforward process that can be completed by logging in to one’s on NYSC dashboard. Remobilization, however, may require additional steps such as refunding allowances and providing a detailed report of the circumstances that led to the interruption of service.
