Graduates Of Medicine To Be Mobilised After Housemanship --NYSC

The National Youth Service Corps will no longer mobilise graduates of
medicine who have not completed their housemanship and registered with
appropriate authorities.

The NYSC Director of Press, Mrs Bose Aderibigbe, made the announcement
in a statement on Monday in Abuja.

Aderibigbe said that the decision was taken at the end of the NYSC
2014 Pre-Mobilisation Workshop, held in Abuja.

"Graduates of medicine who are yet to complete their housemanship and
have not fully registered with the Nigerian Medical and Dental Council
of Nigeria will not be mobilised for service any more.

"Receipt of payment for registration would no longer be accepted in
lieu of certificate of registration".

She advised parent institutions to carry along affiliated institutions
and ensure that names of graduates were not expunged from
Senate/Academic Board Approved result lists submitted to the NYSC.

The director said the decision was taken to ease the problem
associated with exclusion of graduates of affiliated institutions from
mobilisation for service.

"Also, all matriculation numbers that were assigned to graduates, but
found to be invalid should be brought to the attention of the
registrar, JAMB for verification.

"To guard against the bottlenecks associated with the delivery of
exemption certificates to corps producing institutions, the old system
of delivering simultaneously the call-up letters and exemption
certificates has been restored", she said.

Aderibigbe acknowledged the lapses observed in the computerisation of
the NYSC mobilisation and registration process.

She advised student affairs officers of institutions to educate their
students on the implication of registering online by proxy, stressing
that anyone caught henceforth would not be registered in the camps.
