Upload all `authentic’ graduates for NYSC, VCs tell
universities
ON October 11, 2016 7:30 PM / IN News / Comments
The Committee of Vice-Chancellors (CVC) has urged universities
to upload the names of all eligible graduates for the 2016
Batch `B’ of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC).
A statement by CVC on Tuesday in Abuja said that the
committee’s stance was sequel to its meeting with the
Director-General of NYSC, Brig.-Gen. Sule Kazaure.
The statement was co-signed by Prof. Adebiyi Daramola, CVC’s
President and Prof. Michael Faborode, the committee’s
Secretary-General.
NYSC had in a memo to universities recently, directed them to
cut their mobilisation for the scheme by 60 per cent due to
financial constraints.
The CVC said that the stakeholders agreed with NYSC that
paucity of funds was responsible for the slash in the
percentage of mobilisation.
It said that its meeting resolved “that all authentic
graduates of universities be uploaded by universities for NYSC
to mobilise as appropriate.
“All universities are expected to comply immediately and
ensure that graduates of part-time programmes and over-aged
graduates are not included in their list.
“The CVC and the Association of Vice-Chancellors of Nigerian
Universities (AVCNU) plead with the government and the
National Assembly to provide resources needed for full
mobilisation to stave off impending problem of partial
mobilisation.
“We appeal to all graduates and prospective corps members to
show understanding and exercise restraint while awaiting further
directives from NYSC.’’
The statement said that the CVC meeting with NYSC authorities
was preceded by one with the Executive Secretary of the
National Universities Commission on the issue.

Ok

Nigeria aff jaga jaga n aff tumbled too. It is a shame the govt are just so only concerned with what enters their pockets n leave no regards for education. Imagine staying at home for a year + n dey still want to take it to next year. Well dis news just restored a little hope.

I believe the rumoured slashing has bin cancelled. As at 2days ago I was at nysc office nd was told my set bin 2010 won't be going rather only 2009 nd 2008 will be mobilized in my institution. As of now many of us that checked our names since 12pm have successfully seen der names. Rep futo
