NYSC Requirements For Registration/Mobilization Of 2015 Batch "A" Corps Members

This is to inform all prospective corps members, i.e. Nigerians who have graduated from Universities and Mono/Polytechnics both at home and abroad that the NYSC On-line registration portal will be opened from Monday 2nd March to Saturday 4th April, 2015 to enable them register for the 2015 Batch ‘A’ mobilization.

In order to ensure a seamless registration, prospective corps members are to note the following for strict compliance:

The Website address is any of the following:
www.nysc.gov.ng
www.nysc.org.ng
www.portal.nysc.gov.ng

Prospective Corps members should ensure that they have functional e-mail addresses with valid password and Nigerian (GSM) telephone numbers with which to register

Locally trained prospective Corps members are expected to use correct JAMB and Matriculation numbers to register

For locally-trained graduates, only those whose names appear in the Senate/Academic Board Approved Result lists submitted by their Institutions will have access to the NYSC portal.

Prospective corps members must ensure that their institutions and Courses are approved and accredited by Nigeria Universities Commission (NUC), National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) or Federal Ministry of Education (FME), otherwise they would not be mobilized..

Those who graduated from Institutions outside Nigeria, (Foreign-trained graduates), are to visit the NYSC portal, register and upload the following documents:

West African School Certificate(WASC) (with not less than 5 Credits at 2 sittings) or its equivalent,

General Certificate of Education (GCE O’ Level) (with not less than 5 Credits at 2 sittings) or its equivalent,

NECO (with not less than 5 Credits at 2 sittings) or its equivalent

First Degree or Higher National Diploma (HND) Certificate (Second Degree or Ph.D not necessary).

Transcript of the first Degree or HND.

International travelling Passport showing data page and date of departure.

It is the responsibility of the prospective corps members who studied in non-English speaking countries to get their Certificates and Transcripts translated into English language before uploading.

All graduates of Medicine and Pharmacy are expected to have their Certificates of Registration with Nigerian Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (NMDCN) and Pharmacists Council of Nigeria (PCN) respectively. Payment receipts are not acceptable.

Unlike in the past, Foreign-trained graduates should not visit NYSC Headquarters, Abuja for verification of their documents. This exercise will now be done at the Orientation Camps. They should simply print their call-up letters on-line and report at the Orientation camps in their States of deployment, but should come along with the original documents they uploaded to the camp where they will be verified.

Anybody who presents any fake document will be demobilized and decamped.

Prospective corps members should ensure that it is their accurate passport size photograph that is captured during registration.

On no account should prospective corps members register by PROXY. They should also remember the finger used for their biometric capturing as this will be used for data verification at the orientation camp. Those who cannot be verified with their biometric at the orientation camp will not be registered.

Only prospective corps members who want their call-up numbers sent to them through SMS and wish to PRINT their call-up letters on-line are expected to pay the sum of Three Thousand Naira (N3,000.00) (see NYSC Portal on how to make payment).

Prospective Corps members who do not want to pay the N3,000.00 have the option of going to their schools to collect their call-up numbers and call-up letters.

All prospective corps members who paid for the online registration during the 2014 Batch ‘C’ Mobilisation but did not print their call-up letters online need not to pay again.

Married female prospective corps members should submit copies of their marriage Certificate, evidence of Change of name and their husband’s place of domicile including their call-up numbers to their schools or nearest NYSC Secretariats. Foreign-trained graduates should upload theirs during registration.

The orientation camps are not ideal for pregnant and nursing mothers. Prospective corps members in this category are therefore to note that they will not be accommodated.

Prospective corps members who have problems related to mobilization should go to the nearest NYSC Secretariats, see the Deployment and Relocation officer and lodge their complaints between 17th – 20th April, 2015.

All Part-time graduates are also expected to register on-line, even though they qualify for Exclusion.

ASUU Urges Aregbesola To Reverse Suspension Of Uniosun’s VC, Registrar And Bursar

The national leadership of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has called the Osun State Governor, Rauf Aregbesola, to immediately reverse the suspension of the Vice Chancellor of Osun State University (UNIOSUN), Professor Bashir Okesina, registrar and the bursar of the institution.

The demand came against the backdrop of a lingering crisis, which had pitched the governing council and the management of the university against each other.

The pro chancellor of the institution, Professor Gabriel Olawoyin, had recently suspended three principal staff for allegedly defrauding the university, while a panel was constituted by the council to probe allegations of financial impropriety levelled against them last week Monday.

However, at a press conference addressed in Osogbo, ASUU national chairman, Professor Nasir Fagge, who was represented by Professor Segun Ajiboye, the coordinator of ASUU, Ibadan Zone, maintained that the pro chancellor lacked the power under the law that established the university to suspend the vice chancellor.

He accused the chairman of the governing council of victimising its members and also condemned the setting up of a parallel investigative body by Olawoyin, noting that the visitor to the university and Osun State governor, Rauf Aregbesola, had already constituted a visitation panel headed by the Vice Chancellor of Federal University of Technology (FUTA), Akure, Professor Gregory Adebiyi, to investigate the matter.

The ASUU chairman therefore tasked Aregbesola to immediately inaugurate the visitation panel and also reverse the order suspending the vice chancellor and others, in order to grant them access to their offices, so that they can get relevant documents to prove their innocence in the matter.

Also speaking, ASUU’s national treasurer, Dr Ademola Aremu, urged the state government to ensure prompt payment of salaries and other entitlements of the union’s members working in the institution. He lamented that the state government currently owes them two months salaries.

ASUU Upsets Over Elections Postponement


President of Academic Staff Union of Universities, Dr. Nasir Fagge has expressed his disappointment after the electoral commission announced it would postpone elections until March 28, six weeks later than planned.

Fagge disclosed to the News Agency of Nigeria in Lagos that the security issue which prompted INEC to shift the polls was predicated on was not sufficient.

The presidential and National Assembly elections, earlier slated for Saturday, February 14, 2015, will now hold on Saturday, March 28, 2015.

The governorship and state legislative elections will hold on April 11, 2015.

This shift in dates was announced yesterday by Professor Attahiru Jega, National Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.

Jega gave security advice from the service chiefs as reason for postponing the elections.

Fagge said that the nation’s security chiefs ought to have alerted INEC well ahead of time, of their inability to guarantee security during the elections.

He said that the current development would not speak well of Nigeria before international communities.

He expressed doubt if the six weeks extension would be enough to tackle the security issue believed to be the major reason for postponing the elections.

“However, if the election umpire has been convinced enough to have the elections postponed, especially as it concerns security, then let us give them the benefit of doubt.

“All I can say at this point is to call on Nigerians to organize themselves very well and keep their eyes open.

“I also want to seize this opportunity to appeal to them to use this period to ensure that they collect their voter cards and ensure that they do not only vote but also ensure that their votes count,” Fagge said. (NAN)
