The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has announced the dates and designated centres for the physical verification of credentials and travel documents of foreign-trained Nigerian graduates participating in the 2026 Batch ‘C’ Stream I service year.
The verification exercise is scheduled to hold from Tuesday, September 8 to Saturday, September 12, 2026.
The NYSC disclosed this in a statement shared on its official X handle, stating that the exercise is specifically for prospective corps members whose credentials and travel documents are yet to undergo physical verification.
Affected graduates have been advised to report strictly on the date, time and venue stated on their verification slips.
According to the scheme, adherence to the scheduled dates and times will help ensure orderliness and prevent overcrowding at the verification centres.
NYSC Verification Centres for Foreign-Trained Graduates
The NYSC listed nine centres across the country for the exercise. They are:
– Enugu: NYSC Secretariat, 2 Abakaliki Road, GRA, Enugu.
– Bauchi: Shadawanka Military Barracks, Bauchi.
– Federal Capital Territory: NYSC Orientation Camp, Kubwa, Abuja.
– Kano: Bukavu Military Barracks, Fagge, Airport Road, Kano.
– Lagos: NYSC Orientation Camp, Iyanapaja, Lagos.
– Osun: NYSC Secretariat, New Ikirun Road, Osogbo.
– Rivers: NYSC Secretariat, 40 Ikwerre Road, Port Harcourt.
– Sokoto: Eagle Officers’ Mess, Giginya Cantonment, Gusau Road, Sokoto.
– Adamawa: NYSC Secretariat, Federal Secretariat Complex, Yola.
The scheme directed prospective corps members to appear at their designated centres with all original academic credentials and travel documents uploaded, or expected to be uploaded, during the online registration process.
Medical graduates are also required to upload their professional licences, registration certificates and other relevant documents issued by their respective regulatory bodies.
They are expected to present the original copies of the documents during the physical verification exercise.
The NYSC further directed foreign-trained graduates to submit the original copies of their Evaluation Letters issued by the Federal Ministry of Education at the NYSC Headquarters in Abuja.Acknowledged copies of the Evaluation Letters must also be uploaded online, according to the scheme.
The corps warned that only prospective corps members who are physically present with their credentials and successfully verified and cleared would be considered for deployment, exemption or exclusion from national service.
The physical verification exercise remains a mandatory requirement for eligible foreign-trained Nigerian graduates seeking to participate in the 2026 Batch ‘C’ Stream I NYSC programme.
Prospective corps members have therefore been urged to carefully check their verification slips and comply with all instructions issued by the National Youth Service Corps.
