LATEST educational news reaching our news desk
today, is that the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC)
Management board has come out to defends the
online registration it introduced for the mobilisation
of corps members, which according to them, is for
the “good” of the Nigeria corps Members.
Like Most corps members are aware of, the
introduction of the online registration is for the
betterment of corps members, and one main use of
the online registration, is that it’s also meant to
eradicate the same problem faced year by year by
graduates, which they normally pass through in
obtaining call-up letters from their academic
institutions.
According to the information relay by the board’s
spokesperson, Mrs. Olubunmi Aderibigbe, who in a
statement on Monday,disclose that this initiative was
also made to save potential corps members from
untimely death that could be occasioned by the
security challenges in some states in Nigeria.
Mrs. Olubunmi Aderibigbe also went on to say that
the process would prevent the forgery of call up
letters by some scamming bodies.
Mrs. Olubunmi Aderibigbe also said and we quote:
“The attention of the board of the NYSC has been
drawn to some reports which suggest a
misunderstanding of the online registration for the
mobilisation of corps members and the main reason
behind this new development. The truth is that the
whole idea is not only noble but is indeed designed in
the best interest of the corps members, to save them
from stress, scammers and most importantly, save
their lives from issues like incident, etc.
“Given the security challenge in some states of the
federation and the observed cumbersome process of
collection of call-up letters in most academic
Institutions here in Nigeria, the idea was conceived to
remove all impediments that make the mobilisation
process a nightmare for the graduates.
We saw no need why any graduate should have to
travel hundreds of kilometres with all the associated
risks, just to collect his or her call-up letter before
going to camp, she further stated.
The truth is that by registering online, the idea that
any unscrupulous and stealing educational official
could make the process of collection of call-up letter
difficult for corps members will also be eliminated
finally from the educational system here in Nigeria.”
The online registration for corps members will also
create a more reliable and strong platform, where
the NYSC board will be able to do the following:
1, Store and retrieve data for participating graduates,
2. The total removal of the excruciating registration
experiences in camps for both corps members and
officials,
3. The provision of back-up services for the NYSC
Integrated system
4. The Provision of Web-based NYSC Integrated
System Software, which will also cover up all
prospective corps members registration,
mobilisation, deployment and the provision of web-
based finger-print software interface for verification.
We hope that through this information shared above,
we have not confuse you, but have fully convinced
you, that this is for the good of corps members and
the forward movement of academic excellence in
Nigeria.
Peace,
