NYSC bars poly graduates without IT experience

According to the National Youth Service Corps, participants in the national youth service program who are polytechnic graduates or holders of the Higher National Diploma and do not have documentation of completing the required 12-month industrial training will not be allowed to register at the NYSC orientation camp.


The acting Director of Press and Public Relations, NYSC, Mrs Caroline Lembu, who spoke to The Punch on Thursday, explained that a certificate of industrial training is one of the requirements for polytechnic graduates to participate in the one-year national youth service.

The NYSC had recently introduced a new policy, requiring graduates of polytechnics and monotechnics to present an IT certification, as part of requirements for the national service, particularly for participation in the camp activities.

“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,” Baderinwa said.
