Disregard message demanding fee for evaluation letter, NYSC tells prospective corps members

THE National Youth Service Corps has warned prospective foreign corps members to disregard any message from anyone asking them to obtain an Evaluation letter for a fee, adding that such a person is a scammer.

The agency noted that the universities in Benin Republic does the processing on behalf of their students who are ready for deployment to the one-year mandatory programme.

It stated this via its official Twitter handle @officialnyscng.

““The Federal Ministry of Education has a portal for request of letter of evaluation. For institution in Benin Republic, the schools process it for them,” it said; warning, “Anyone who contacts you via Direct Message offering to get you an Evaluation Letter for a fee is a scammer. Beware.” The agency stressed.

The Federal agency also stated the reasons why some foreign-trained prospective corps members cannot be evaluated when processing their deployment to camp.

It stated, “Most foreign graduates who are yet to be evaluated usually have one or more documents to be re-uploaded and a message will be sent to their dashboard as regard to that.

“They are expected to re-upload and do what is stipulated before they can be evaluated.”

The agency noted that foreign prospective corps members who have re-uploaded their documents should send an email to,[email protected] a text reading, “Attention: Director Corps Mobilization requesting that they should be evaluated again.

“They should include their name, email address and phone numbers used to register in the email,” the directive stated.

It then listed some of the reasons preventing successive evaluation.

“Common reasons that stop foreign trained PCMs from being evaluated successfully include:

– Poorly scanned documents.

– Uploading photocopies of certificates and travel documents instead of original copies.

– Not uploading all the required documents.”
