Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has appealed to National Youths Service Corps to allow Higher National Diploma holders who passed through part-time during their National Diploma to serve their fatherland.<\/p>\n

NANS noted that students who completed their National Diploma (ND) programs under the Daily Part-Time (DPP) mode and subsequently enrolled in full-time Higher National Diploma (HND) programs are being denied the opportunity to serve the NYSC.<\/p>\n

The association said this in a statement made available to DAILY POST on Saturday through its Senate President, Afeez Babatunde Akinteye.<\/p>\n

Akinteye in the statement said that the affected students are being denied NYSC registration due to the \u201c(P)\u201d designation attached to their JAMB registration numbers, which signifies their part-time status during the ND program.<\/p>\n

He maintained that the \u201c(P)\u201d designation is making NYSC portal to reject their registration.<\/p>\n

He lamented that this was preventing the affected students from participating in the mandatory national service.<\/p>\n

Akinteye while speaking further maintained that this had caused distress and uncertainty among the affected students.<\/p>\n

He then used the opportunity to appeal to the federal ministry of education to urgently intervene in the matter.<\/p>\n

He urged the ministry to issue a directive to the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) and NYSC to collaborate and find a swift resolution to the problem.<\/p>\n

Akinteye said, \u201cWe wish to bring urgent attention to a critical issue affecting students who completed their National Diploma (ND) programs under the Daily Part-Time (DPP) mode and subsequently enrolled in full-time Higher National Diploma (HND) programs.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese students are being denied NYSC registration due to the \u201c(P)\u201d designation attached to their JAMB registration numbers, which signifies their part-time status during the ND program.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis problem has arisen despite these students having completed the required JAMB regularization process.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe \u201c(P)\u201d designation, which is a remnant of their part-time ND status, is causing the NYSC portal to reject their registration, thereby preventing them from participating in the mandatory national service.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis has caused significant distress and uncertainty among the affected students, who have otherwise fulfilled all necessary criteria for NYSC registration.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe appeal to the Ministry of Education to urgently intervene in this matter. It is imperative that directives be given to the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) and NYSC to collaborate and find a swift resolution.<\/p>\n

\u201cSpecifically, we request that JAMB initiate a consolidation process to update the registration status of these students, reflecting their transition from Daily Part-Time ND to full-time HND. This update will ensure that their JAMB registration numbers are accepted by the NYSC portal.<\/p>\n

\u201cFurthermore, we call on the Ministry of Education to instruct the NYSC to recognize the unique situation of these students and facilitate their registration.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis can be achieved by overriding the system\u2019s rejection of the \u201c(P)\u201d designation for students who have progressed to full-time HND programs. Ensuring that these students are not unfairly excluded from the NYSC program is crucial for their academic and professional futures.<\/p>\n

\u201cNANS stands in solidarity with the affected students and will continue to advocate on their behalf until a satisfactory resolution is achieved.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe urge the Ministry of Education to act promptly to address this critical issue and ensure a just outcome for all affected students.\u201d<\/p>\n
