The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has announced nine 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 will run from Tuesday, September 8, to Saturday, September 12, 2026, for prospective corps members whose credentials and travel documents are yet to be physically verified.
The NYSC urged affected candidates to report strictly on the date, time and venue stated on their verification slips to avoid overcrowding and ensure a smooth exercise.
The nine centres are:
- Enugu: NYSC Secretariat, 2 Abakaliki Road, GRA, Enugu.
- Bauchi: Shadawanka Military Barracks, Bauchi.
- FCT: 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.
Prospective corps members are required to present all original credentials and travel documents uploaded or expected to be uploaded during online registration.
Medical graduates must also upload and present the original copies of their professional licences, registration certificates and other relevant documents issued by their professional bodies.
The NYSC further directed candidates to submit original Evaluation Letters issued by the Federal Ministry of Education at the NYSC Headquarters in Abuja and upload acknowledged copies online.
The scheme warned that only candidates who are physically verified, cleared and seen with their credentials will be deployed, exempted or excluded from national service.
The physical verification remains a mandatory requirement for eligible foreign-trained Nigerian graduates participating in the 2026 Batch ‘C’ Stream I service year.
