Common issues that many people face include OTP delays, payment remittance issues, server errors, and profile capture problems.
You might simply ask yourself, what is the actual work of NYSC officials if PCM can’t simply register on their portal without all facing these issues?
Someone even suggested that this is a ploy by the federal government to reduce the number of prospective Corp Members for service. Do you actually believe this? Comment, your opinion matters.
NYSC officials are really frustrating PCM these days.
Here are the common issues prospective corps members are currently facing.

Final Tips:
The NYSC registration portal server is not stable at the moment. Simply follow the guidelines for a successful registration.
As we noted before, NYSC treats everyone equally based on call-up numbers and mobilization; those who are first to receive a letter before others.
We strongly advise you to register as soon as possible.
Next year, mobilization will be difficult based on the new policy. The federal government will frustrate anyone who fails this opportunity.
