Nigeria’s top polytechnic, Yaba College of Technology (YABATECH), is an important place for students preparing for the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC). YABATECH students and graduates require the most recent details on registration, eligibility, and mobilization procedures as the 2025 NYSC mobilization draws near. This post offers thorough, current guidance to help you easily traverse the NYSC procedure and make sure you’re ready for the 2025 batch.
Briefing on Pre-Mobilization for the 2025 Batch
For final-year students who qualify for the 2025 NYSC Batch, the YABATECH Students’ Affairs Division has organized a pre-mobilization briefing in coordination with the Students’ Union Government. Important subjects like online registration, paperwork requirements, and deadlines to prevent delays will all be covered in this session. Additionally, students will get advice on how to handle typical problems like inconsistencies in their academic records. To guarantee a seamless registration procedure, attendance is required of all qualified students. For information on the briefing schedule and location, visit the Students’ Affairs Unit or check the YABATECH portal at portal.yabatech.edu.ng.
NYSC Requirements for YABATECH Graduates
Graduates of full-time National Diploma (ND) or Higher National Diploma (HND) programs approved by the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) are the only ones eligible for mobilization. Exemption certificates are usually granted to students who attend classes part-time.
Graduates must have a valid ID (such as a driver’s license, international passport, or national identification number), a Statement of Result or Certificate, and a JAMB registration number.
Academic Clearance: To avoid delays in mobilization, make sure that all academic records have been cleared by YABATECH.
YABATECH has contacted the NBTE and NYSC leadership in response to recent worries regarding the exclusion of certain HND graduates, especially those with part-time ND certificates. The organization is making efforts to mobilize all eligible grads. For clarification, impacted students could stop by YABATECH’s NYSC Office.
Certificates of Unclaimed Exemption
By March 15, 2023, YABATECH is required by the NYSC Directorate to return all unclaimed exemption certificates and letters of exclusion from 1991 to 2022. For graduates who are excused from duty because of part-time education or other factors, these certifications are essential. Bring your Statement of Result and a legitimate ID to the NYSC Office at YABATECH’s Students’ Affairs Unit to pick up yours. To prevent future academic or professional issues, prompt gathering is crucial.
The Top-Up Degree Program at FUOYE-YABATECH
Through YABATECH’s collaboration with Federal University Oye-Ekiti (FUOYE), HND graduates can increase their eligibility for NYSC by pursuing a bachelor’s degree through the Top-Up Degree Program. September 2, 2024, marked the start of the 2025/2026 application period, which ends on December 28, 2024. B.Sc. programs in computer science, business administration, and accounting are offered. Candidates must have finished NYSC or be exempt. For graduates who want to continue their studies and take part in the NYSC scheme, this program is perfect.
Overcoming Mobilization Obstacles
Some YABATECH HND graduates experienced difficulties with mobilization in early 2025 as a result of differences between their full-time and part-time HND status. After speaking with NYSC Headquarters, YABATECH made it clear that enrollment is contingent upon the program’s accreditation. The college is working to address these problems and encourages impacted students to check the official website for updates.
