Rector Assures Adamawa Polytechnic Degree Graduates of Imminent NYSC Mobilisation
The Acting Rector of Adamawa State Polytechnic, Dr. Harrison Edan Mbasumai, has assured graduates of the institution's degree programme, affiliated with the University of Maiduguri, that they will soon be mobilised for the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) scheme.
Dr. Mbasumai gave the assurance while speaking in an interview with reporters from Adamawa Television Corporation (ATV) in his office, where he addressed concerns over the prolonged delay in the release of results for graduates of the affiliated degree programme.
The Acting Rector explained that the delay, which has prevented many graduates from participating in the NYSC scheme, predates his appointment as the head of the institution.
He noted that although the challenge was inherited, his administration has taken decisive steps to resolve the issue. According to him, the Polytechnic has already released โฆ3 million to the University of Maiduguri to commence the process of releasing the outstanding results.
Dr. Mbasumai disclosed that the University has made an additional request of โฆ15 million to complete the process. He said the Polytechnic Management is exploring various options, including seeking the support of the Adamawa State Government, to raise the required funds and ensure that the graduates are mobilised for the NYSC programme without further delay.
The Acting Rector reaffirmed the institution's commitment to safeguarding the future of its students, stressing that the management understands the importance of timely mobilisation for national service.
"As parents, we are committed to taking every necessary action to secure the future of our children," he said, while appealing to parents and the affected graduates to remain patient and confident in the efforts being made to achieve a lasting solution.
He expressed optimism that the ongoing engagements with the University of Maiduguri and other relevant stakeholders would soon yield positive results, bringing relief to the affected graduates who have waited for years to begin their mandatory national service.
