The House of Representatives yesterday called on the National Universities Commission (NUC) to allow fresh graduates enrol for master’s degree programmes without requiring them to serve in the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) scheme as a stop-gap. The House also asked the NUC to make clarification on the disparity between fresh graduates of Nigerian universities and their foreign counterparts. The advice was given following a motion brought by Hon. Muhammad Sani Zorro. In his presentation, Sani-Zoro noted that fresh graduates from Nigerian universities are barred from enrolling for master’s degree programmes in universities without having participated in the NYSC programme as a pre-requisite. The lawmaker said graduates who schooled abroad are freely admitted for the programmes without being required to have participated in the National Youth Service Corps, scheme as a pre-condition. “The N.Y.S.C scheme should be restructured to accommodate those who want to go for their master’s programme before they undertake the mandatory one year N.Y.S.C service scheme.
