The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has refuted reports that it denied registration to Science and Laboratory Technology (SLT) graduates at its Gombe State orientation camp.
The reports claimed that polytechnic graduates who studied SLT were denied access due to not having professional certificates from the National Institute for Science Laboratory Technology (NISLT).
However, the state NYSC Coordinator, Mrs. Chinwe Nwachuku, has dismissed the claims as “untrue and baseless.”
She emphasized that all graduates who presented themselves at the Gombe camp were registered and are currently undergoing their orientation course.
“No SLT graduate was denied registration; all graduates who showed up in Gombe were registered and are already undergoing their orientation course,”
Mrs. Nwachuku stated. “In Gombe camp, I am not aware of any SLT graduate not registered. We registered everyone with or without a license.”
“I am aware that some of them came without a license, but we registered them because the headquarters gave the directive to register all, with or without a license. Nobody was denied registration as far as Gombe camp is concerned,” she added.
