Why we opted for online registration –NYSCThe National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has said it started online registration of prospective corps members to eliminate the risk of travelling to their former schools to collect call-up letters.
According to the NYSC, the initiative was designed with the best interest of corps members due to the security challenges in some states of the country and the observed cumbersome process of collection of call-up letters in most institutions. It stated that the new policy would also remove all impediments that made mobilisation process a nightmare for the graduates.
A statement signed by the commission’s Director, Press and Public Relations, Mrs. Olubunmi Aderigbe read in part: “In this day and age, we see no need why any graduate should have to travel hundreds of kilometres with all the associated risks, just to collect his/her call-up letter. By registering online, the idea that any unscrupulous official could make the process of collection of call-up letter difficult for corps members will also be eliminated.
“However, as a result of competing needs, it was obvious that the lean purse of the scheme cannot fund such a massive deployment of technology commensurate with desired efficiency, accurate data and seamless operations. Therefore, in 2013, the scheme decided to key into the Federal Government’s approved National policy on Public Private Partnership (PPP) as a veritable tool for building a world-class infrastructure that would drive the process.
“Indeed, the deployment of full ICT solutions for the processing of data of mobilised graduates and coordinating the institutions has become compelling so as to sustain efficiency of operation of the scheme by creating a more graduate-friendly mobilisation process. This is moreso, as the scheme also mobilises foreign-trained Nigerian graduates from all corners of the globe and this platform offers them a seamless opportunity to participate in national service since the barrier of distance has been eliminated.”
The NYSC assured that the online registration, which started in the second quarter of 2013, followed laid-down rules, adding that the Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP) and the Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission (ICRC) were involved in all the processes that led to contracting SIDMACH Technologies to undertake several services for it.
