Joyeux: Whether NYSC discharge certificate or exemption or exclusion no one i repeat no one has more benefit than the other when applying for a job.I can understand your frustration of now putting on the ajuwaya.

lazerville: "This is to inform all students that NYSC Exclusion Certificates issued to
graduates of the University are available for collection at their
corresponding study centres. You are expected to present the original
and photocopy of your degree Certificate and an acceptable mode of
identification as pre-requisites for collection

@lazerville its is really heart breaking hearing of exclusion certificate after waiting for soo long.I am so disappointed


to make things cleaerer, nysc exemption cert/letter is different from nysc exclusion letter. exemption letter is issued to
students with disability or overage(30). and exclusion for all dli,noun,part-time graduates. as for me, this is quite
disappointing. after 4 years of hoping, then what is the jamb regularization fees for? and the nysc fee, when we dont get to
go for service? besides noun is an acccredited federal government university and her graduates should not be sidelined as
it would affect their relevance and employabilty in the labour market , also it would discourage prospective students from
enrolling thus defeating the purpose for which noun was created. i want to call upon concerned authorities to come to our
aid and give ears and thought to our plight, noun is the way out for the majority of the nigerian youths who for one reason
or another have found no place in conventional universities.




furthermore, section 2 of the nysc decree - the decree that established the nysc states and i quote ..





SECTION 2
1. Subject to the provisions of this Decree, every Nigerian shall
a. if, at the end of the academic year 1972-73 or, as the case may be, at
the end of any subsequent academic year, he shall have GRADUATED AT ANY UNIVERSITY IN NIGERIA.

the end of any subsequent year, he shall have graduated at any
university outside Nigeria

the end of any subsequent year, he shall have obtained the Higher
National Diploma, or such other professiona1 qualification as may be

d. if, at the end of the academic year 1975-76 or, as the case may be, at
the end of any subsequent academic year up to the end of the 1983-84
academic year, he shall have obtained the National Certificate of
Education, be under an obligation, unless exempted under $subsection
(2) of this section or section 17 of this Decree, to make himself
available for service for a continuous period of one year from the date
specified in the call-up instrument served upon him
2. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (1) of this section, with
effect from 1st August, 1985, a person shall not be called upon to serve
in the service corps if; at the date of his graduation or obtaining his
diploma or other professional qualification -
a. he is over the age of thirty
b. he has served in the armed forces of the Federation or the Nigeria
Police Force for a period of more than nine months
c. he is member of staff of any of the following, that is
i. the Nigerian Security Organisation

3. A person liable to be called upon to serve in the service corps shall
serve for a continuous period of one year as from the date specified in
the call-up instrument served upon him or, as the case may be, if a
general or special notice to that effect is given in the prescribed
manner; and when so called upon, such person shall make himself
available for service and shall present himself at such place and time
and to such person or authority as may be specified in the instrument
or notice.
4. The President, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces may, by Order
published it, the Gazette, extend the application of the provisions of
subsection (1) of this section to other categories of Nigerians who shall
have obtained such diplomas, certificates or other qualifications as
may "be prescribed in the Order from universities, colleges and other
institutions of higher learning within or outside Nigeria, and the Order
may specify different dates for call-up in relation to different categories
of those affected or to be affected by the Order.





This automatically includes Noun so why the discrimination, or is noun no more a nigerian university? and since this law
has not been changed or the decree amended, it is a gross offence and fllagrant disobedience of the laws of our land to
EXCLUDE noun students from the scheme as well as it is also self-purpose-defeating and categorically unproductive.
policy makers should make it optional for noun and other dli graduates below the age of 30 to partake and exempt those
above the stipulated age.
we are in a democracy and i believe there should be an explanation on the part of nysc why noun students are being
excluded. many students have done and woul d do all legally possible to be called up for service since it is their
constitutional right.
I feel pained when i see others in corpers' uniform moving about their places of assignment and i wish that one day it
would be me in one of those uniforms, holding my head high with a bounce in my step because i have been given the
priviledge to serve my fatherland.
as a nigerian , i should not be denied this priviledge because it is my obligation under the law to serve as i graduated from
a prestigious federal open nigerian university.
i thereby use this medium to call on concerned authorities to rectify this problem and make it possible for noun graduates
to be INCLUDED in the scheme.
as aggrieved students , let us be law abiding as we make our grieviances known and lets keep putting pressure on both
nysc and noun authorities till something positive and productive is done.



i wish goodluck to the alumni, success to incumbent students and grace for prospective students.
Merry christmas and a happy new year to you all
thanks a lot.

blairbrook: according to the updated time table on the schools website,both regular student and dli student are resuming 6th jan

afangide: U many?

nkenyy: On tuesday the 17th of September I received a mail from the embassy asking me to come with the 3months health insurance. I went there today with it and have collected my Visa. My interview was 28th of August.. Thank you everyone for your support and above all God is awesome. I will continue praying for everyone because I know how it feels waiting.

Godson201333: Please do not be in a hurry just wait until you hear from them..

Godson201333: you do not have to be in a rush and dont bother contacting the foreign office...You have your visa receipt with you,Mail the Embassy that you need an update and quote your visa application number to them.

Yes it is the foreign office at your study city that is delaying your visa,Maybe they investigating something about documents but it do takes months sometimes cos foreign affairs in big cities are always damn busy....

Thanks but we did that last week before the embassy informed us that once the foreign office contact them,then they wld get back to us.That's why am asking nw, since embassy said they are waiting for foreign office.Do u think we shld mail d embassy again or what do u think.

t-med:
@Tope
Please how did you contact the foreigner's office during your time? (did you CALL or SEND them an email?) What information did you give the foreigner's office that made them aware of your application (Was it your PASSPORT NUMBER or VISA RECEIPT?)

suckermaterial: am very happy, I did my interview yesterday, the young lady that interviewed me said that I talk too much. Thanks for narialanders. I also met one narialand member that put me through at the reception room before the lady called me.
But the embassy gave one of my friend a rejection letter yesterday and one other girl. The crowd at the German embassy is too much.
Can embassy give me visa before 1st of October because my course is starting on 1st October.
Long live narialand.

t-med:
it simply means that they have not gotten any approval from the foreign office to issue your visa. This may be probably due to the loads of application on the foreign office table of your city of residence. For example, some people blocked account was processed in less than less than 2 weeks, and others took 3 weeks.Therefore, it differs.

Godson201333: If i were you,I will be thinking of flying down to either Stuttgart or so then you can use train to your final destination.Flying to that airport will cost you lot of money because you can never get direct down there from Africa.Try saving some coins cos life here aint easy too.

You can check online for best deals and book tickets yourself.

codebrew85: Thanks.

aflynvir: loooooolz, very funny! Can't wait to get my VISA!

princeolu254: congrats bro

Bwave: Relax, you will definitely hear from them soon. I was interview on the 16th of Aug and received the email today.
