Despite expectations for the release of call-up letters, which typically precede the commencement of orientation camps across the country, applicants have taken to social media to voice their concerns. One comment humorously attributed the delay to the attendance of an official at a high-profile celebrity wedding, suggesting that other priorities may have stalled the administrative process.

"The person that’s supposed to release NYSC call-up letter for Batch B has attended Chioma and Davido’s wedding," quipped one commenter, reflecting the frustration of many awaiting their deployment information.

Another prospective corps member expressed anxiety over the delay, pleading for expedited action to ensure that preparations for the orientation camps proceed smoothly. "Today is almost over, and NYSC has still not posted the call-up letter. God, please ensure that whatever they are cooking doesn't delay more than necessary," read the comment, highlighting the growing impatience among applicants.

Criticism of the delay has also surfaced, with some attributing it to administrative incompetence. "The NYSC camps across the country are scheduled to open today, and no intending corps member has received their call-up letter. Sheer incompetence," lamented a concerned individual, pointing to the logistical challenges posed by the delay.
