First class graduate restricted from NYSC
In a similar report a Nigerian woman has expressed her frustration after discovering that her age has prevented her from participating in the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) scheme, despite her perfect grade in the university.
The lady, identified as Lase, shared her concerns on X (formerly Twitter), where she lamented what she described as an unfair system that had limited her.
She explained that because she is 30 years old, she is no longer eligible to participate in the NYSC programme, a requirement many employers in Nigeria still insist on for graduate-level roles.
