OPEN UNIVERSITY: BARRED FROM SERVING THE NATION Abdulrazaq O Hamzat Let me begin by asking a question, is it right to bar some citizens from serving the nation without the basis of law? I think not, but as it stands, graduates of the first of its kind National Open University of Nigeria has been officially barred or excluded from serving our father land. This should be a source of concern to all meaning Nigerians. After the end of the Civil War, the leadership of the country thought of a way to re-unite the country in an effort to bridge the fracture caused by the civil war, and after much deliberation, the National Youth Service Corp was given birth to. According to SECTION 1 of the NYSC decree, it states that, there is hereby established a scheme to be known as the National Youth Service corps (in this Decree referred to as "the Service Corps" ![]() We have seen all over the world that graduates of Open Universities are accorded front seat roll, they are seen as people who deserve first class treatment. Nigeria shouldn’t ignorantly relegate this noble institution and its distinguish graduates, they cannot be relegated. Many students from this university feel pained when they see other graduates in the youth corps uniform moving about their places of assignment. They wish that one day, it would be them in those uniforms, holding their head high in service to their fatherland, but this dream seems to be under threat, as graduates after graduates, the discrimination yet continues. I therefore call on those in authority to desist from this discrimination, failure of which the students would be forced to drag the NYSC to court for legal redress. Finally, we are aware that the president have the power to resolve this issues without further delay, as the NYSC act states that, 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. Therefore, the president should as a matter of urgency, intervene to correct this unjustifiable exclusion of Open university graduates from National Youth Service.

I even suggest buhari should ban that NYSC stuff, the only thing people do there is just to go take pictures. Every graduate should be given like 500k to venture in agriculture or something else and not wasting one year wearing khaki and T shirt around. It makes people myopic, imagine asking a graduate what his plans are and he tell you he has no plan until after service as if there is job vacancy already waiting for him else where. My opinion though 157 Likes 12 Shares |

Is that why you wrote all that long epistle? Isn't NOUN a part-time degree program? Part-time graduates(even from conventional universities) do not participate in the NYSC from the word go! And what's the biggie about NYSC by the way? Those of us who went do sometimes wish we had used our time for better things to improve our lives. 54 Likes 4 Shares |
