HOW NYSC CALCULATE AGE LIMIT FOR MOBILIZATION
One of the most important factors that determines someone's eligibility to take part in the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) program is age. Therefore, the primary purpose of this article is to show you how NYSC calculate age limit for mobilization.
Knowing how NYSC calculate an age for mobilization is important as it would help you determine your eligibility status using the same method as NYSC.
Certificate of exemption is issued to graduates that are *30 years* and above at the point of graduation. So 30 years is the age limit for National Youth Service program.
However, the NYSC exemption should not be taken as a bad omen since Certificate of exemption is equivalent to discharge certificate. Many people even prefer exemption to service.
WHEN DOES NYSC EXEMPT GRADUATES FROM SERVICE?
👉When the person exceeds the age of 30 years, or
👉If the person has served in the Nigerian military or para-military for one year or more, or
👉When the person is physically disabled
Note: If you are a part-time graduate (CEP), exclusion letter will be given to you. Note that Exclusion Letter is less than discharge certificate But certificate of exemption is equal to discharge certificate.
THE PURPOSE OF NYSC
Understanding the purpose of NYSC will help you know why there age limit is placed on the scheme.
NYSC is a scheme established by the Federal Govt of Nigeria after the civil war with the primary aim of fostering unity, reconciliation, rebuild and reintegrate with one another to break the hard ice which was formed between Nigerians because of the civil war.
Those eligible for this service are Nigerian youths who graduated from Universities and Polytechnic within or outside Nigeria before the age of 30. It means you are eligible to serve provided you graduated before 30 years.
So, if someone graduated before 30 years, but did not serve because of one reason or the other. Now, the person has attained 40 years, the person is eligible to serve since he/she graduated before 30 years.
