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