NYSC to accommodate NOUN graduates

 The news was greeted with a huge sigh of relief, as it was announced that students of the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) can henceforth participate in the compulsory National Youth Service Corps (NYSC). The development was made public by the Special Adviser to the President on National Assembly matters, Senator Ita Enang, in assent to the National Open University Amendment Act 2018.

Previously, the NYSC has been giving letters of exclusion to graduates of the institution, which resulted in outcry against what the students of the institution termed a discriminatory practice, but the assent has put paid to such dichotomy.
