The National Universities Commission (NUC) has pledged to review the exclusion of National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) graduates from the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) scheme. Executive Secretary Prof. Abdullahi Ribadu stated the commission will engage NYSC leadership to reconsider the mobilisation framework. This follows concerns raised by NOUN Chancellor, Oba of Benin Ewuare II, about unequal treatment of graduates. Ribadu noted a shift in NOUN's student demographics, with recent graduates now under 30 years, making them eligible by age for NYSC.
NOUN graduates who are under 30 and have completed their degrees may soon be eligible for NYSC mobilisation if policy changes are implemented. Affected students should monitor official NUC and NYSC channels for updates on revised guidelines and potential application processes.
