Foreign-trained graduates are required to provide an evaluation letter during online registration for the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) program. In this article, you will learn how to obtain an NYSC evaluation letter for foreign-trained graduates.
Please note that not every foreign graduate that is required to provide their evaluation letter; it’s for those whose institutions’ accreditation is in doubt.
What is an NYSC evaluation letter?
It’s a letter that Nigerian foreign graduates need to obtain from the Federal Ministry of Education. This letter confirms that the institution and course they studied abroad are duly accredited by the government of that country.
During NYSC online registration, if your dashboard displays “you have not been evaluated yet,” it means you need to upload the evaluation letter. The NYSC management has made evaluation compulsory for foreign graduates, especially those who studied in African countries.
Why the NYSC letter of evaluation?
In Nigeria, some tertiary institutions are banned from participating in NYSC because they lack accreditation from the National University Commission (NUC) or other regulatory agencies. There are also institutions operating illegally outside Nigeria, and the NYSC management aims to identify graduates from those fake foreign institutions.
NYSC checks the accreditation of courses or programs because some institutions are not allowed to offer a particular course or program.
However, the National University Commission (NUC) has cautioned Nigerians from studying in Ghana, Niger, Togo, Benin Republic, etc., possibly due to the lack of accreditation in many institutions in those countries.
During the evaluation process, the Ministry of Education will verify the accreditation status of your institution. Ensure your institution is accredited before applying for NYSC; if in doubt, visit the Federal Ministry of Education for confirmation. When you obtain the NYSC evaluation letter, scan and upload it on your NYSC dashboard. It may take a few weeks to reflect.
Requirements for NYSC evaluation letter
Below are the requirements to get the evaluation letter:
- Degree certificate
- Transcript
- O’Level certificates (5 credits, including English & Mathematics in at least 2 sittings)
- International Passport
- Admission letter.
Amount to be paid: ₦500.00 only
How to get the NYSC evaluation letter
Take the required documents to the Federal Ministry of Education in Abuja. They will process it for you. If you encounter difficulties, call the following numbers: 07033778053, 09069529414, 08033071465.
Sometimes, obtaining an evaluation directly from the Federal Ministry of Education is near impossible. In such cases, contact your school through email or call, as they can scan and send it to you. If you opt for direct processing through the ministry, there will likely be a fee involved.

Pls wat can I do
Help my life
Nobody has been able revalidate, just be patient
Getting an evaluation directly from the federal ministry of education is near impossible, they always ask you to go back to your school in which case most foreign students cannot travel back for the letter, if in case you contact your school and they have it, they can scan it to you. To get it directly from the ministry, money will definitely be involved.
I have done my online registration and I done my physical verification and they sent me that I’m cleared but still my dashboard is still showing i am not evaluated yet. Is saying I should upload evaluation letter
If that is the case, read this article: How to get NYSC evaluation letter for foreign graduates

Just get the evaluation letter either from your school or Federal Ministry of Education. After that, scan the document and upload it on your NYSC dashboard.

Am a foreign student and my account have been suspended, have gone to all nearby nsyc Secretariat office but still that same
What should I do…
Ask those in the secretariat what caused the problem and what action you need to take toward solving it. If they can’t give you reasonable answers, then send message to info@nysc.gov.ng or consider going to the NYSC headquarters in Abuja.
I have an issue, I’m a foreign student,
My school has taking our names for evaluation, but nysc still sent message on my sms not dashboard, that I should upload my evaluation letter, how can I go about that, I have made registration already.
Go and get your Evaluation letter and upload it. See How to get NYSC evaluation letter for foreign graduates
I needed to ask this too.. If the school is accredited, is it a most for them to get the evaluation letter every year
You get evaluation letter only when NYSC ask you to do so
I’m also having a similar problem, they said I should post my data page and evidence of stay in Ghana which I have done and yet I got a text message today saying “this is unacceptable”
Which school and country
I have an issue,i uploaded my evaluation letter on my dashboard I think the next day I got a message from nysc that my evaluation letter is fake and my school gave it to me
I have an issue with my name on my neco result and hnd result it is the sequence of the first and other name
Awowole sola abiola the other is Awowole abiola sola
Arrangement of name is not a big problem. You can easily rearrange during online registration
Pls is certificate verification the same as an evaluation letter
No
