  "summary": "The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has announced the dates for the physical verification of credentials and travel documents for foreign-trained Nigerian graduates participating in the 2026 Batch ‘C’ Stream I service year. The verification exercise is scheduled to take place from September 8 to September 12, 2026, at nine centers located in different states across Nigeria. Prospective corps members are required to present their original credentials and travel documents at these centers to ensure a smooth and orderly process. The NYSC emphasizes the importance of compliance with these procedures for eligible graduates, as only those physically verified will be deployed, exempted, or excluded from national service.",
