HND graduates to provide IT evidence before NYSC mobilisation
The National Youth Service Corps has warned that graduates of polytechnic and monotechnics without evidence of mandatory one-year industrial training will not participate in national service.
NYSC coordinator in Lagos, Yetunde Baderinwa, disclosed this in an interview on Saturday.
Ms Baderinwa said that NYSC had issued a circular to that effect.
The NYSC official said, “It has been noticed in recent times that some graduates of polytechnics and monotechnics do not observe the mandatory one-year IT before being admitted for the HND programme. The one-year IT is a prerequisite for HND.
“They must undergo the one-year IT with evidence of completion before going for HND, and institutions must confirm this before admitting them for HND.
“The directive will take effect from the next orientation camp, and we will not register any candidate who did not complete or undergo the process.”
She said that the measure would promote the sanctity of Nigeria’s education system.”
According to Ms Baderinwa, prospective corps members who are HND graduates will be required to present evidence of completion of the IT before being registered at any NYSC orientation camp.
