LASU Prepares LASUCOM Final-Year Students for NYSC Mobilization

Final-year students of the Lagos State University College of Medicine (LASUCOM) have been adequately prepared for the transition into the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) scheme following a pre-mobilisation sensitisation programme organised by the Students’ Affairs Division of Lagos State University (LASU).

The programme, held on Tuesday, 14 April 2026, at the Medical Sciences Building Auditorium, served as a platform for prospective corps members to receive first-hand guidance on mobilisation procedures and other critical requirements for national service.

Officials from LASU and the NYSC provided lectures and practical explanations aimed at strengthening students’ understanding of the mobilisation process, including the online registration system and necessary documentation.

Speaking at the event, the Dean of the Students’ Affairs Division, Dr. Abiodun Fatai-Abatan, who led the LASU delegation, urged the students to take full advantage of the programme. 

He noted that a proper understanding of the NYSC processes would help prospective corps members avoid avoidable errors during registration and mobilisation.

“Our students should reflect the University’s rising reputation and prestige,” he said, adding that diligence and attention to detail remain essential throughout the NYSC exercise.

Delivering a detailed presentation, the Assistant Director of Deployment and Relocation, NYSC Lagos, Mrs. Oluwayemisi Davidson, outlined the NYSC scheme comprehensively.

 Her session covered the history and structure of the programme, step-by-step online registration procedures, call-up letter management, and the documentation required for successful mobilisation. She also explained exemption and exclusion criteria, as well as conditions for remobilisation.

Mrs. Davidson further highlighted the four cardinal programmes that mark the NYSC service year like Orientation Course, Primary Assignment, Community Development Service (CDS), and Winding-Up/Passing Out thereby offering students clear insight into what to expect during their service.

Other NYSC officials also delivered additional sessions focused on practical guidance for navigating the NYSC online portal. Students were taken through common registration challenges, including technical issues and bio-data-related problems, with explanations on how to resolve them. The programme also addressed concerns relating to admissions and data discrepancies.

Earlier, the Head of the Students’ Affairs Division, Mrs. A.O. Abisuga, welcomed the NYSC officials and commended LASUCOM’s consistent record of successful mobilisation. She attributed the success to the College’s structured approach to NYSC processes.

The sensitisation programme, created an enabling environment for students to ask questions, seek clarification, and build confidence ahead of mobilisation
