The National Youth Service Corps has announced that graduates of polytechnics and monotechnics without evidence of mandatory one-year Industrial Training will not be allowed to participate in national service.
According to NYSC Coordinator in Lagos State, Mrs. Yetunde Baderinwa, “It has been noticed that some graduates of polytechnics and monotechnics do not observe the mandatory one-year IT before being admitted for HND programmes.

This is a prerequisite for HND, and institutions must confirm this before admitting them.”
Baderinwa emphasized that the directive will take effect from the next orientation camp, and 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.
In her words, “We will not register any candidate who did not complete or undergo the process. This is to ensure that our education system is taken seriously, and graduates meet the required standards.”
