I’ve just missed NYSC biometric or the NYSC monthly clearance and then what? If you want to know what will happen if you miss the mandatory clearance, make sure you read to the end.
I used to think that if you miss a clearance, you will get your NYSC allowance because I always think the monthly payment of NYSC to corp members must be automatic.
The NYSC official cannot tell me that it is every month that they cross-check our number, our names and check if we are present for the monthly clearance. I will sometimes conclude that it is impossible because of the total number of corp members in each state and each local government.
Let me tell you at this point that if you are thinking exactly like me, you are wrong. Because actually, I don’t know the process that NYSC officials are using but if you’re not present for your biometric or monthly clearance, you will not get your NYSC allowance for that month.

So here is
What Happens When A Corper Misses Biometrics/Clearance
Firstly, you are not going to be paid for that month. Technology is helping these days, so its easier to spot an absent corps members. The officials will know that you are absent from the clearance and because you are absent, you won’t get anything for that month.
Secondly, that is an automatic extension for you. If you miss NYSC monthly clearance, your service year is going to be extended because that shows that you were not present throughout the month and because you are were not present at your place of primary assignment you will not only be paid for the month, you will get an extra month after passing out.
My advice for you is that you should not miss your NYSC biometric or monthly clearance for anything and if you will really have to miss it make sure that you have a strong reason and you can present evidence while you actually missed it.
Hi Lola, I’m currently serving in Kaduna state; batch c2, 2019. I’ve not gotten a PPA yet, was rejected at my first PPA, then my second is still pending at air force institute of technology at air force base, Kaduna. I have not done my documentation as I’ve not gotten a PPA yet but did my biometrics, don’t know if I’ll be credited for January by 30th or 31th. I need your view on this.

I was on medical leave to Karina eye center so I missed my biometric clearance base on my doctors advice to wait for 3weeks to observe my condition, I informed my local govment inspector and even send him evidence of my treatment documents from eye center, but I check my clearance on my dashboard and saw absent despite I was on medical leave, what should I do
pls,I got an urgent mail/call that will take me out of the country. So can I put my Service on hold?
Yes
pls, how do I put it on hold so when I come back I can continue from where I stopped?
Pls what did you do later on? Were you given an extension of 2 months?
Hi lola,missed my biometrics for two months,how many month extension will I get,and if I present my proof of being sick during this period will I be pardoned?
Pls what did you do? We’re you given an extension of 2 months?
I need an answer for the above question.
I also have a question. I know I’m going to miss a whole month of my service year, because I have something important to do outside my state that’s going to fetch me money. My question is, is this not going to be an issue for me especially in my place of primary assignment? Since I don’t plan on going at all for a whole month
What do you think. If you can sort it out with your PPA it’s fine but if not, you will carry that month over.
Please my biometrics and clearance is on Tuesday and i haven’t gotten accepted or rejected at my ppa please what do I do I’m really confused
Good morning lola,my name is Nike,pls am sick and I haven’t gone for documentation at my ppa and my clearance date is today, pls what can I do
If you have a doctor report that you are sick, go and meet your LI. and next time, inform your LGI before skipping everything.
I have two issues right now that I need help with
1. After I left camp in December of 2020, my letter said that due to covid, I had to wait and will be informed when to come for clearance at secretariat which of course I got to find out later was an error on their part but I waited the whole of January and then I went in February only to find out that I can do my relocation clearance. I also had not gotten a Ppa as at February. Long story short, I missed clearance for January and February 2021 although I was paid allowee for both months. Then I officially started my Ppa in March. Will I get an extension of service.
2. When I did my relocation at secretariat, they didn’t ask for my ID card from my previous state so I literally am still carrying my old state ID card and this is my last month. What can I do?
I will just advice you to talk to your CLO
I did my clearance and my dashboard is still showing absent can I still do something about it and I’m passing out on Thursday
Hi Lola, I just got posted to my PPA, and my clearance is for 6th of January, my PPA hasn’t started work so I can’t get a clearance later to submit at the LGA office, can I go for my clearance at a later day
Try it
Hello lola please after been rejected twice from my ppa and was waiting for my lgi to repost me, I applied for relocation and it was approved on 12 of this month but my lgi reposted me on 1st of the month which I didn’t report because I already applied for relocation due to my health so when it was accepted was told to get clearance from my state coordinator but she told me to write a query because I didn’t report on 1st of this month at my ppa..will I be punished or will she cancel my relocation..please help
Hi. I did my biometrics on the 3rd March 2022 and it showed me successful there at the LG. On reaching home I check my dashboard but there was no update of the last three months, so I waited and it still did not reflect if it was absent or present on my dashboard. Unknowingly to me that the system at the LG was malfunctioning that same day I did my biometrics.so when I did not receive my allowance for that month.i went back to the LG to lay a complaint and the confirmed that she cleared and signed on my file but I thumb-printed and because the system was faulty that day it showed success but wasn’t. I asked if anything can be done as it clearly not my fault and she said no.
So I want know if there’s is another way for this to be fixed?
You should get your answer from the secretariat. They should be able to tell u what to do next
I did my biometric clearance 4 days ago but my dashboard still showing absent and there is no ppa on my dashboard I went to complain at LGI office but I was told to write down my state code only till now still not show present on my dashboard
meet your li again
I was rejected at my PPA, so I went back to my zonal office after Seeing my LGI and she said I should head to the zonal office, I got there submitted my relocation application but couldn’t do thumb printing as she didn’t all me do it and said it has closed. She said no payment for me this month and that’s automatically an extension
That’s it.
Please i miss a clearance is there any possibility that i will pass out with my mate
No. You will get one month extension except you go and resolve it with the LI
my case is quite diff, i relocate to lagos and i went to do the necessary stuff, so december nysc have not post me to my ppa, luckily i was paid for december and i dont see any extension date on my dashboard and some were given automatic dat december while i was given absent. now i will submit my final clearance 2moro, so aunty lola wat should i do?
Meet the LI and he will sort it out
I missed my January biometric clearance so we are doing our passing out on this coming Thursday, my question is that hope I won’t have an extension for that a month I missed
The probability of an extension is high especially if you did not meet the LI and settle why you missed the clearance.
Hi Lola
My dashboard shows present but they said I will have to come to the secretariat to collect it
I hope this isn’t a problem?
Awaiting your reply
No problem dearie

Hi Lola am a corper I was posted to Adamawa state and I relocated to Anambra state but I didn’t go and report there and I couldn’t do this January biometric clearance please what should I do someone is working on my relocation to nassarawa state he said I should wait but I don’t want to have problem with NYSC if I wait for the relocation to be approved it will be two months that I missed biometric should I just go back to Adamawa state.
I will advise you go to Adamawa. Even if the relocation work, you can leave. It’s better than just doing nothing. NYSC will give you extension after NYSC service.
