The National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, has denied reports that it refused to register Science and Laboratory Technology, SLT, graduates at its Gombe State orientation camp.
The reports alleged that polytechnic graduates, who studied SLT, were denied access for not having professional certificates from the National Institute for Science Laboratory Technology, NISLT.
The state NYSC Coordinator, Mrs Chinwe Nwachuku, while reacting to the claims, declared them “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.
