Minister of Education, Dr. Maruf Alausa, has announced the resolution of a long-standing issue regarding the mobilization of Higher National Diploma (HND) graduates for the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC).
This decision follows a dialogue with the Director-General of NYSC, and it’s a significant breakthrough for full-time HND graduates who were previously excluded from the NYSC program.
According to the minister, only full-time HND graduates are eligible for mobilization, while those who completed their HND programs part-time are not eligible.
To facilitate a seamless mobilization process, the National Board for Technical Education has been directed to expedite the collation of data for eligible HND graduates.
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 .
Dr. Alausa emphasized that NYSC mobilization is strictly for those who completed a full-time HND program.
He also disclosed that the newly created portal will ensure proper documentation of full-time HND graduates and serve as the official database for NYSC mobilization, addressing past challenges related to admission records.
