Kaduna Polytechnic Clarifies NYSC Mobilization Delays, Makes NERD Clearance Mandatory

Kaduna State Polytechnic management has addressed graduate concerns regarding NYSC mobilization delays, clarifying that the issue is nationwide rather than institution-specific.

Why the Delays?

According to Registrar Dr. Muhammed Tanimu, several factors contribute to mobilization delays:

• High volume of graduates requiring verification
• NYSC's batch processing system
• Graduate-related issues including improper JAMB admission regularization
• Incomplete documentation

Guidance by Graduation Year

2024 Graduates

Processing continues for upcoming batches. The institution describes this group as "relatively few" in number.

Pre-2024 Graduates

Those not yet mobilized should immediately contact the institution's NYSC Desk Officer, as unresolved issues likely require administrative resolution.

New Mandatory Requirement

All prospective corps members must obtain Nigeria Education Repository and Databank (NERD) clearance before mobilization proceeds, regardless of graduation year. Failure to complete this step will cause additional delays.

What to Do

• Visit the Institution's NYSC Desk Officer for case-specific resolution
• Complete NERD clearance at ned.gov.ng
• Ensure all documentation is complete
