The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has announced a three-day physical verification exercise for foreign-trained Nigerian graduates seeking mobilization for the 2026 Batch ‘B’ Stream II service year.
In a notice shared on its official X account, the Scheme directed all affected prospective corps members (PCMs) whose academic credentials and travel documents are yet to be physically verified to report for the exercise between Monday, July 13, and Wednesday, July 15, 2026.
“This is to inform all Foreign-Trained Nigerian Prospective Corps Members (PCMs) for the 2026 Batch ‘B’ Stream II Service Year, whose credentials and travel documents are yet to be physically verified, to present themselves for the physical verification exercise,” the NYSC said.
The verification exercise is mandatory for foreign-trained Nigerian graduates who have completed their online registration but have not yet undergone physical verification of their credentials and travel documents.

Candidates whose qualifications were evaluated by the Federal Ministry of Education must submit the original evaluation letter to the NYSC Headquarters in Abuja and upload the acknowledged copy to the NYSC portal.
The Scheme advised prospective corps members to strictly comply with the date, venue, and time stated on their verification slips to ensure an orderly exercise and prevent overcrowding at the various centres.
