HND graduates without industry training evidence won’t go for service – NYSC
The National Youth Service Corps has said that graduates of polytechnic and monotechnics must show evidence of mandatory one-year industrial training before they can be mobilised for national service.
Speaking during an interview on with newsmen on Saturday, NYSC coordinator in Lagos, Yetunde Baderinwa, said that the agency has discovered that some graduates shunned the industrial training.
Baderinwa disclosed that NYSC had issued a circular to that effect, adding that tertiary institutions must confirm students’ observation of the industrial training before the commencement of their HND programme.
The NYSC official said, “It has been noticed in recent times that some graduates of polytechnics and monotechnics do not observe the mandatory one-year IT before being admitted for the HND programme. The one-year IT is a prerequisite for HND.

She said that the measure would promote the sanctity of Nigeria’s education system.”
According to Ms Baderinwa, 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
