The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has issued a stern warning to all prospective corps members ahead of the 2025 Batch ‘B’ Stream II Orientation Course, cautioning against the submission of fake or forged academic certificates.

In an official statement released on September 23, 2025, the NYSC emphasized that any graduate found presenting fraudulent documents will face immediate disqualification from the service year, legal prosecution, and permanent blacklisting from government employment and opportunities.

The statement further highlighted that the NYSC has partnered with academic institutions, regulatory bodies, and verification agencies to thoroughly screen submitted documents. Any discrepancies or signs of forgery will be investigated, and offenders will be referred to relevant authorities for prosecution under Nigerian law.

“The NYSC has zero tolerance for certificate forgery. Corps members who attempt to circumvent the rules by presenting false credentials will face severe consequences,” the statement read.

The NYSC also reminded graduates that participation in the service year is a mandatory national assignment and a civic responsibility. The organization urged prospective corps members to ensure that all certificates, transcripts, and supporting documents are authentic and verifiable to avoid jeopardizing their future careers.

Officials noted that submitting fake certificates not only violates the NYSC’s regulations but also constitutes a criminal offense punishable under the law. The corps added that efforts to falsify information will result in immediate expulsion from the orientation camp, with offenders potentially barred from future enrollment or government-related programs.

Graduates are being strongly advised to verify their documents and report any errors or issues to their institutions before presenting them to NYSC authorities. The message is clear: honesty is not optional, attempting to cheat the system carries permanent consequences that could affect both career prospects and personal reputation.
