The Nigeria Youth Service Corps has denied entering into any agreement with the National Association of Nigerian Students regarding the collection of levies from students as a condition for NYSC mobilisation.
The NYSC made this known in a statement on Tuesday, describing the viral report as false and urging prospective corps members to disregard it entirely.
The NYSC issued the statement days after NANS indicated that payment of its proposed annual ₦200 dues could become a requirement for students seeking mobilisation into the National Youth Service Corps.
What The NYSC Is Saying
The scheme said its mobilisation process is conducted exclusively through established official channels and is not linked to the activities of any student association or organisation.
“The NYSC wishes to state unequivocally that it has not, at any time, discussed, agreed to, or entered into any Memorandum of Understanding with the National Association of Nigerian Students regarding the collection of any levy from students in connection with mobilisation for national service,” the statement read.
The scheme explained that mobilisation involves collaboration between NYSC management and the heads of corps-producing institutions, who are responsible for providing information on their graduates — with no role assigned to student associations in the process.
“The mobilisation process is neither linked to nor contingent upon the activities of any student association or organisation,” it added.
The NYSC said it operates under the authority of the Federal Government and implements only policies and procedures duly approved by the appropriate government authorities, framing any claim to the contrary as both false and unauthorised.
