The Minister of Education, Dr. Maruf Olatunji Alausa, has announced that only full-time Higher National Diploma, HND, graduates are eligible for mobilization for the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC.
The Minister said the resolution of the long-standing issue
regarding the mobilization of HND graduates for the NYSC followed a dialogue
with the Director-General of NYSC.
This was made known in a statement by Boriowo Folasade,
Director, Press & Public Relations, Federal Ministry of Education.
Folasade said the development marks a significant
breakthrough for full-time HND graduates who were previously excluded from the
NYSC program.
According to the statement, those who did HND part-time were
not eligible for mobilization for the NYSC.
“It underscores the Federal Ministry of Education’s
commitment to equity, fairness, and inclusivity in the nation’s education
system.
“To facilitate a seamless mobilization process, the National
Board for Technical Education (NBTE) has been directed to expedite the
collation of data for eligible HND graduates.
“In line with this, a circular has been sent to all Rectors
of Polytechnics, instructing them to upload the necessary graduate data onto
the newly created HND admission portal,” Folasade said.
“The Minister emphasized that NYSC mobilization is strictly
for those who completed a full-time HND program, stressing that only full-time
HND graduates will be mobilized, while those who did HND part-time remain
ineligible.
“The Honourable Minister urges all eligible full-time HND
graduates to take full advantage of this opportunity and proceed with their
mobilization without delay.
“He reaffirmed the government’s commitment to fostering
equal opportunities for all qualified Nigerian graduates and ensuring their
contributions to national development through the NYSC scheme,” the statement
added.
