You must provide evidence of IT before mobilisation, NYSC tells HND graduates
The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has said it is now mandatory for the graduates of polytechnic and mono-technics to present evidence of mandatory one-year Industrial Training (IT) before participating in national service.
The NYSC Coordinator, Lagos State chapter, Mrs Yetunde Baderinwa, stated this on Saturday in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Lagos.
Baderinwa said that NYSC had issued a circular to that effect.
Baderinwa said, “It has been noticed in recent times that some graduates of polytechnics and monot-echnics 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.”
The coordinator, while stating that the 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, added that the measure would promote the sanctity of Nigeria’s education system.
