The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has designated nine centres for the physical verification of credentials and travel documents belonging to Nigerian graduates who were trained abroad and are scheduled to participate in the 2026 Batch ‘C’ Stream I service year.
In a statement shared on its X handle on Thursday, the NYSC said the verification exercise will take place from Tuesday, September 8, to Saturday, September 12, 2026, for prospective corps members whose credentials and travel documents are yet to undergo physical verification.
The scheme advised affected candidates to appear only on the date, at the time and venue stated on their verification slips to maintain order and prevent overcrowding.
The nine designated centres are in Enugu, Bauchi, the Federal Capital Territory, Kano, Lagos, Osun, Rivers, Sokoto and Adamawa states.
The 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.
According to the NYSC, prospective corps members are required to present all original credentials and travel documents uploaded, or expected to be uploaded, during online registration.
Medical graduates have also been directed to upload their licences, registration certificates and other relevant documents issued by their professional bodies. They are required to present the original copies at the verification centres.
The scheme further directed prospective corps members to submit original copies of Evaluation Letters issued by the Federal Ministry of Education at the NYSC Headquarters in Abuja and upload acknowledged copies online.
The NYSC warned that only prospective corps members who are physically seen with their credentials, verified and cleared will be deployed, exempted or excluded from national service.
The physical verification is a requirement for eligible foreign-trained Nigerian graduates participating in the 2026 Batch ‘C’ Stream I service year.
