The National Youth Service Corps has said the online registration it introduced for the mobilisation of corps members is meant to eradicate the problems that
graduates pass through in obtaining call-up letters from their institutions.
The board’s spokesperson, Mrs. Olubunmi Aderibigbe, in a statement on Monday said the initiative was also
made to save potential corps members from untimely death that could be occasioned by the security challenges in some states. She also argued that the process would prevent the forgery of call up letters. Aderibigbe said, “The attention of the board of the NYSC has been drawn to some reports which suggest a misunderstanding of the online registration for the mobilisation of corps members and the rationale
behind it. We hasten to say that the whole idea is not only noble but is indeed designed in the best interest
of the corps members. “Given the security challenge in some states of the
federation and the observed cumbersome process of collection of call-up letters in most institutions, the
idea was conceived to remove all impediments that make the mobilisation process a nightmare for the
graduates. We saw no need why any graduate should have to travel hundreds of kilometres with all the associated risks, just to collect his or her call-up letter. By registering online, the idea that any unscrupulous official could make the process of collection of call-up
letter difficult for corps members will also be eliminated.” Aderibigbe added that the scheme would afford foreign trained Nigerian graduates to have a seamless opportunity to participate in national service as the barrier of distance had been eliminated. “The online registration will also create a more reliable platform for storage and retrieval of data for participating graduates, removal of the excruciating
registration experiences in camps for both corps members and officials, provision of back-up services for the NYSC Integrated system and provision of Web-based NYSC Integrated System Software covering prospective corps members registration, mobilisation,
deployment and the provision of web-based finger-print software interface for verification,” she added.

*The Punch*

This is a very welcome development but why ask them to pay that much in the process of ones trying to serve the a country?

Therefore, as the First Person to Comment on this Thread, I hereby ordered that the amount be reduced to #500 only.

Our lecturers/parents were begged to school and underwent free education in turn they were paid some cash. We came, some bribed to get admission, pay money for admission letter which were posted for free to the admitted those days. Shine your eyes. if you think nija is getting better then you reason like a ghanian pig

A good idea, but how much is the printing?
