The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has commenced the physical verification of credentials and travel documents for foreign-trained Nigerian graduates who registered for the 2025 Batch ‘C’ Service Year.
In a statement posted on X on Sunday, the scheme announced that the exercise will take place from Monday, November 10, to Wednesday, November 12, 2025, across designated centres nationwide.
According to the NYSC, the verification is meant for Prospective Corps Members (PCMs) whose documents have not yet been physically verified after completing their online registration.
The verification centres include the NYSC Secretariat, 2 Abakaliki Road, GRA, Enugu; Shadawanka Military Barracks, Bauchi; NYSC Orientation Camp, Kubwa, Abuja; Bukavu Military Barracks, Fagge, Airport Road, Kano; NYSC Orientation Camp, Iyana Ipaja, Lagos; NYSC Secretariat, New Ikirun Road, Osogbo; NYSC Secretariat, 40 Ikwerre Road, Port Harcourt; Eagle Officers Mess, Gingiya Military Barracks, Gusau Road, Sokoto; and NYSC Secretariat, Federal Secretariat Complex, Yola.
“To ensure orderliness and avoid overcrowding, Prospective Corps Members are expected to report strictly on the date, time, and venue indicated on their verification slips,” the statement read.
The Corps added that all participants must present the original copies of their credentials and travel documents as uploaded online during registration.
For medical graduates, the NYSC directed that they must also upload and present licenses, registration certificates, and other relevant documents issued by their professional bodies at the verification centres.
The statement further clarified the process for graduates who obtained qualifications abroad that require official recognition.
“Original copies of evaluation letters issued by the Federal Ministry of Education (where applicable) should be submitted at the NYSC Headquarters, Abuja, while acknowledged copies must be uploaded online by the PCMs,” it noted.
Emphasising the importance of the exercise, the NYSC warned that only those whose documents are physically verified and cleared will be deployed, exempted, or excluded from national service.
The Corps urged all affected foreign-trained graduates to adhere strictly to the guidelines and appear at their designated centres as scheduled.
