NAPS URGES JAMB TO ADDRESS NYSC IRREGULARITIES
The National Association of Polytechnic Students (NAPS) has urged the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) to assist in resolving inconsistencies that prevent polytechnic students from participating in the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC).
Mr. Ridwan Opeyemi, President of the group, accompanied a team to the JAMB headquarters in Bwari, Abuja, on Friday to make the request.
Opeyemi voiced concern that graduates of the Higher National Diploma (HND) were barred from participating in the NYSC.
He explained that many students who graduated with HND certificates from various polytechnics and claimed to have registered with JAMB had yet to be mobilised for the project.
Opeyemi said, “The Registrar took his time to discuss with us, and we now know where the problem lies, which is mostly from our various institutions.
Opeyemi voiced discontent with the procedure and requested JAMB’s assistance in resolving the issue.

Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, Registrar of JAMB, stated that the board was not responsible for admitting HND students into colleges and so had no data to facilitate their registration into the NYSC scheme.
“Our role stops at admissions for National Diploma (ND); we have no record of HND students,” he said.
He suggested that the team research the admissions standards and engage the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) for a solution.
