The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) says prospective corps members will now present compliance certificates from the Nigeria Educational Repository and Databank (NERD) before mobilisation.
D i r e c t o r – G e n e r a l Olakunle Nafiu stated this yesterday in Abuja during the 2026 Batch ‘B’ Pre-Mobilisation Workshop focused on strengthening accountability and compliance within the mobilisation process nationwide.
The NERD is a Federal Government initiative aimed at improving verification and documentation of academic records while curbing certificate fraud across educational institutions nationwide.
Nafiu said implementation of the compliance requirement would commence from the 2026 Batch B Stream One Orientation Course as part of efforts toward strengthening accountability and credibility within the NYSC mobilisation process.
