Federal Govt Orders Evaluation Of Foreign Degrees Before NYSC Mobilisation

The federal government has directed that all foreign certificates must be cleared through the evaluation desk at the Federal Ministry of Education before mobilisation for the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC).

The directive, which appeared on the official Facebook page of the NYSC, stressed that no foreign‑trained graduate will be mobilised for service without an official evaluation of their overseas qualification.

“All foreign certificates must be cleared through the evaluation desk in Federal Ministry of Education before mobilisation for National Service,” the notice stated.

This year, the NYSC online registration portal opened from 12th March for prospective corps members wishing to participate in the forthcoming mobilisation exercise.

The agency urged graduates to confirm that their names appear on the Senate or Academic Board approved lists uploaded by their institutions before attempting to register.

Once registration closes, the scheme will proceed with issuing call‑up letters and preparing corps members for orientation.
