The University of Maiduguri has organized a one-day NYSC mobilization sensitization programme aimed at adequately preparing graduating students for their National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) service year. The event took place on Tuesday the 14th April 2026, at the Muhammadu Indimi International Conference Centre.
In his opening remarks, the Dean of Student Affairs, Professor Ahmadu Bronu, who represented the Vice-Chancellor, welcomed the students and stressed the importance of the exercise. He explained that the briefing was designed to properly guide prospective corps members and help them avoid common mistakes that could delay their mobilization. He urged participants to pay close attention and adhere strictly to all instructions.
Speaking during the session, the NYSC Borno State Coordinator, Malam Nasiru Bello, outlined the procedures for mobilization into the scheme. His presentation covered key steps such as internal clearance, verification of academic records, and submission of accurate student data. He advised students to ensure consistency in their personal details, including names and dates of birth, across all official documents.
He further noted that the programme was specifically organized to guide final year students and graduates on the requirements and processes involved in NYSC mobilization.
The NYSC ICT unit also delivered a presentation on the digital aspects of the process, including online registration, document uploads, and state selection. Common challenges such as name discrepancies, passport photograph issues, and fingerprint capture errors were highlighted, along with practical solutions.
The sensitization emphasized the importance of discipline, early registration, and avoiding unauthorized agents. Students were also encouraged to regularly check the NYSC portal for updates and to approach the Directorate of Student Affairs for clarification when necessary.
Participants were urged to view the NYSC programme as an opportunity to contribute meaningfully to national development while gaining valuable life experience.
