Is this a new police? Since when? Because for a long time, including during my own service year, I used to see old corpers who are clearly over 40 in camp. The explanation has always been that they graduated years ago but only just got mobilised to serve.

DeOTR:

That's true. You can still serve several years later provided you graduated before you turned 30.

That is not true. Once you are above the admissible age at filing for call-up, you are expected to get an exemption from NYSC service.

Mind you, an exemption still qualifies you for private or public service and government appointments.

He is right & you are wrong. NYSC reckons with Age at Graduation for mobilization. If you were below 30 at Graduation, you will be mobilized for NYSC even 30 years after..Infact, you are not suppose to get employed with your degree certificate till you acquire the NYSC certificate. NYSC is compulsory for every Nigerian that graduated before the Age of 30!

he said he graduate before 30 at 25 so he claim to be eligible ... I think what is important is the interpretation of English .. What do the law says ..can anyone be kind to state it ..

looks like another ..and FCT episode ...

NYSC is more of physical endurance and intellectual endurance . I pray the Court rule in favour of Mr Kenny ..so as to trash away all this limitations we put in the way of people. We might come to the world at the same ..we sure not living at the same time ...

In as much as Keke Ogungbe, after studying in US, started off self-employed as co-owners of highly successful Kennies Music label, he could have smartly used the period he worked for his brother-in-law Raymond Dokpesi's DAAR Communications as an opportunity to tie up his NYSC loose ends.

He was a bit short-sighted there given how smart he is. May be he never anticipated he will one day got involved in politics.

In any case, I doubt if he committed any offense by still undergoing NYSC because he was within the age limit at the time he graduated.

Wallade:


No! What you are entitled to get is an exemption from NYSC service.

Simple!

yemex04:

Thank you .. The law is very clear and unambiguous here , why NBA wan waste money dey sue Mr Kenny ...

DeOTR:

That's for people that graduated after 30 years.
I went to Finland after my first degree. I came back to serve when I was 32, so I'm talking to you as someone who went through the same process. Except of course if they've changed the law since that time, which I doubt.

Wallade:


Can you prove that "NYSC reckons with Age at Graduation for mobilization, and you will be mobilized for NYSC even 30 years after graduation" by referencing and quoting the NYSC act, not what you think?

The emboldened was clearly explained in the NYSC HANDBOOK given to all NYSC members during the Orientation, I was given one in my service year though now misplaced. You can fact check.











NYSC issues service certificates to participants and NYSC also issues exemption certificates to those who are above 30 years old.

You only need the NYSC certificate or NYSC exemption certificate or letter to get a job with both public and private organizations in Nigeria and to get government appointments.

Open up your mind and learn, stop talking thrash on public media space.
