NYSC fixes 12–14 January 2026 for physical verification of foreign-trained prospective corps members
The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has issued a notice to foreign-trained Nigerian graduates who are prospective corps members (PCMs) and whose credentials and travel documents have not yet been physically verified. The notice addresses a specific group, not all PCMs; it applies only to those still awaiting this stage of verification.
Dates for the physical verification exercise
NYSC states that the affected graduates are required to make themselves available for a physical verification exercise scheduled to hold from Monday, 12 January to Wednesday, 14 January 2026.
The timeframe is short and clearly defined; attendance is expected within those dates.
Why the verification is required
NYSC describes the verification as mandatory for all concerned PCMs. The stated purpose is to complete the documentation process ahead of mobilisation.
This step, as presented in the notice, is part of the documentation pathway and is tied directly to mobilisation readiness.
What PCMs are expected to do next
Prospective corps members affected by the notice are advised to comply promptly and follow further directives from NYSC. The notice links compliance to timely participation, warning that failure to act may lead to delays in joining the national service scheme.
