First Class Graduates To Serve In Universities – NYSC DG

The Director-General, National Youth
Service Corps, Brig-Gen. Johnson Olawumi,
on Wednesday said graduates with first
class degrees would, henceforth, be
deployed to teach in universities and other
tertiary institutions.
Speaking at a two-day pre-mobilisation
workshop for the 2015 Batch ‘B’ NYSC
programme themed: ‘ICT and NYSC
mobilisation process; towards eliminating
identified challenges,’ in Kaduna, Olawumi
stated that the new posting policy was to
properly mobilise the right manpower to
boost the education sector.
He said: “All corps members who graduated
with First Class honours, Distinction
Degrees and Diplomas will be posted to
tertiary institutions for effective utilisation
of their manpower. The posting policy of the
scheme is being vigorously implemented for
the achievement of the desired impact.”
“I, therefore, appeal to the authorities of all
tertiary institutions of learning to
reciprocate this gesture by accepting and
offering them permanent appointments after
service.”
The NYSC Boss disclosed that an online
certificate verification procedure would be
introduced to make participation in the
scheme more transparent. He said that the
verification procedure was to promote
smooth interface between the scheme and
the public.
