Students of Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) Ile-Ife, lamented over missing the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) Stream 1, Batch A of 2021.
The students, who lamented over the delay in separate interviews with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), on Tuesday, in Ile-Ife, attributed their grievance on missing the Stream 1, Batch A service to the school management for not uploading their names in the NYSC portal.
One of the affected students, Ibrahim Yusuf, who studied electrical electronic engineering, said missing it was painful because the students had stayed at home for almost a year because of COVID-19.
“Actually, we felt bad because we have been at home for a whole year, we have been anxious to go for NYSC, even our parents have been expecting us to be in service,” he said.

A public high school in Illinois has approved a student’s request for a religious exemption from a required sexuality program after a national legal group voiced concern that the student faced the threat of possible discipline for her refusal to take part in the program.
A high school student in Illinois will face a disciplinary hearing this week over her refusal to participate in the school’s gender and sexuality program after her parents requested that she be exempt from the requirement.
A national religious freedom legal nonprofit sent a demand letter to the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy in Aurora on Tuesday, arguing that the three-year residential public school unlawfully denied religious accommodations to Marcail McBride to excuse her from attending the school’s Student Gender and Sexuality Program.
According to the letter sent by two First Liberty Institute lawyers, the McBrides have “repeatedly communicated” to the school that the required program “violates Marcail’s religious beliefs.”
