If you studied outside Nigeria and plan to serve, this stage is one you cannot afford to miss. The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has announced the physical verification exercise for foreign trained graduates under the 2026 Batch A Stream II.

For many Prospective Corps Members, this is the final checkpoint before deployment. It is where your documents move from online uploads to physical confirmation.

If your credentials are still pending verification, this is your chance to clear them. Missing it could delay your mobilisation.
