While waiting for your NYSC registration, likely around 2nd week of September, please use this period to ensure that the name and spelling on your academic certificate exactly match the details on your NIN.
Take time to carefully verify both records and, if you notice any discrepancy, promptly visit a NIN enrolment centre to make the necessary correction and request immediate validation. To be sure that the validation is done and has reflected on the NIN database, please visit Nigerian Immigration passport page and input your NIN to see the name that pops up.
This is very important because NIN-related issues remain one of the major challenges candidates encounter during NYSC registration.
Married women should pay particular attention to this, especially where there has been a change of surname after marriage. Ensure that your academic records and NIN details are properly aligned
