NYSC to reject HND graduates over industrial training
Graduates of polytechnic and mono-technics without evidence of mandatory one-year Industrial Training will no longer participate in national service.
This was revealed by the National Youth Service Corps as a warning to the intending Polytechnic graduates.
While speaking about the development in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria on Saturday, the NYSC Coordinator in Lagos State, Mrs Yetunde Baderinwa, said NYSC had issued a circular to that effect.
According to Baderinwa, “It has been noticed in recent times that some graduates of polytechnics and mlnotechnics do not observe the mandatory one-year IT before being admitted for HND programme.
“The one-year IT is a prerequisite for HND. They must undergo the one-year IT with evidence of completion before going for HND, and institutions must confirm this before admitting them for HND.
,,,,“The directive will take effect from the next orientation camp, and we will not register any candidate who did not complete or undergo the process.”
She further noted that the measure would promote the sanctity of Nigeria’s education system, adding that prospective corps members, who are HND graduates, will be required to present evidence of completion of the IT before being registered at any NYSC orientation camp.(NAN)
