What all PCMs BATCH B should know about MOBILIZATION

GUIDELINES FOR MOBILIZATION OF
GRADUATES INTO NATIONAL SERVICE
As part of efforts aimed at ensuring that only
eligible graduates who pass through duly
accredited full time courses are mobilized for
participation in the National Youth Service Corps,
the NYSC Management is collaborating with
relevant regulatory bodies of the respective Corps
Producing Institutions (CPIs) – the National
Universities Commission (NUC) for Universities and
degree awarding institutions and the National
Board for Technical Education (NBTE) for Mono/
Polytechnics as well as the entry admission
examination body- Joint Admissions and
Matriculation Board (JAMB).
Accordingly, the data of all prospective corps
members as submitted for mobilization by their
respective institutions, are subjected to screening
for conformity with the requirements of these
regulatory/examination bodies. In this regard, all
prospective corps members whose admissions are
not known to JAMB will be deemed to be improperly
admitted. The admission status of such students
will require the affected CPIs to regularise same
with JAMB.
Similarly, all Corps Producing Institutions (CPIs)
have been advised to abide by the extant admission
quota approved by the NUC and NBTE respectively
in making submission for mobilization. Any
submission in excess of quotas approved will not be
accepted. Graduates of courses not duly
accredited by these regulatory bodies will not be
mobilized for service.
It should be stated, for emphasis, that the
regularization of admissions with JAMB is the duty
of the Corps Producing Institutions (CPIs), just as
the confirmation of approved admission quota for
each course and the determination of their
accreditation status is the prerogative of the
regulatory bodies – NUC and NBTE
It is imperative to state that the NYSC will not act
as a liaison office between the Corps Producing
Institutions (CPIs) and these regulatory/
examination bodies. This much had earlier been
brought to the notice of CPIs at the last Pre-
Mobilization Workshop held in Ilorin, Kwara State on
Thursday 16th January, 2013. Corps Producing
Institutions which are unable to conclude the
regularization exercise during the 2013 Batch ‘A’
service year could still be considered in subsequent
Batches when the outstanding issues would have
been resolved by the institution.
It has become expedient to bring this information
to the attention of the general public for
necessary guidance.
Thank you.
