The University of Ibadan (UI) management says it has taken action to resolve the challenge its graduates face at the orientation camps for their youth service.
The Director of Public Relations, UI, Mrs Joke Akinpelu, in Ibadan on Saturday said the situation has been under control.
“UI is already doing what the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) required of it, and the Corps members are being accepted now,” Akinpelu said.
Skyray News recalled that a few days ago, NYSC rejected graduates of some universities, including UI and the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN).
According to an NYSC official, in a circular dated November 7, 2022, and signed by the Director (Corps Mobilisation), Isa Walida Siddique, titled, ‘Prospective Corps Members With Incomplete Data For Camp Registration,’ various institutions had been duly noted on the requirements acceptable by the commission.
‘‘However, it is unfortunate that a few Corps Producing Institutions (CPIs) have yet to comply with the resolution, thereby making registering Prospective Corps Members (PCMs) very problematic. Lack of harmonisation of data both on the portal and on hard copies can alter the mobilisation status of PCMs, hence the management’s zero tolerance towards the few CPIs that still indulge in it.
‘‘In view of the foregoing, you are kindly requested to advise all PCMs awaiting registration to go back to their institutions to rectify their respective challenges,” the letter partly read.
