Exemp from NYSC

[Nasiru Yakubu]

I was just checking on the NYSC website for reasons to get an exemption letter for serving as a youth Corp and i stumbled on the text below:

Below are the requirements for collection/replacement of certificate of exemption.

In accordance with the National Youth Service Corps Decree 1993 section 2 subsection (1) it is stipulated that;

"With effect from 1st August, 1985, a person shall NOT be called upon to serve in the service corps if, at the date of graduation or obtaining his diploma or other professional qualification" :

• He is over the age of thirty (30) years
• He has served in the Armed Forces of the Federation or the Nigeria Police Force for a period of more than nine months; or
• He is a member of staff of any of the following:
  
  
  • The Nigerian Security Organization or
  • The State Security Service, or
  • The National Intelligence Agency or
  • The Defence Intelligence Service
• He has been conferred with any National Honour.

These categories of persons are therefore exempted from service and issued with the Certificates of Exemption. ELIGIBILITY Nigerian Graduates either home or oversea trained who have the stipulated qualification of (B.SC, B.A or HND) from approved or accredited Institution by (NUC, NTBE or NCCE) are eligible for Exemption Certificate however while foreign trained graduates must submit their Certificates at the Mobilization Department for Evaluation. 

Question is does our 5/6 years in AFMS qualify as serving in the armed forces?

It does/has. Exjam have collected exemptiin letters before. For the Exjam serving as other ranks in the airforce, I believe that their years in afms are counted as part of their years of service. Any one who knows otherwise should pls inform us.

Ok, thanks for your input guys.

I wonder if Nigeria had gone to war during those periods would we have been drafted?

NYSC should be a bit more lenient to exempt people over the age of 40

Maybe those above the ages of 18 years and above! But I know people as from the ages of 16 years were recruited into the british navy to fight in world war 2. So maybe!
