The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has stated that only the names of suitable qualified candidates with JAMB results and appropriate names of accredited courses issued to the students and offered by them should be sent to it for mobilization.
It also added that results released and acknowledged by the senate of the institutions as well as soft and hard copies of the names of students are other considerations.
This came on the heels of the corps observation that names of roadside mechanics and other illegal candidates were sent to its headquarters for mobilisation, thereby creating series of problems.
This was announced by the director-general of the NYSC, Brig Gen Johnson Olawumi, during the 2015 and 6th combined policy meeting on admissions to degree, Nigeria Certificate of Education (NCE) National Diploma and National Innovation Diploma- awarding institutions.

They must not be sent for mobilisation. Students that have different courses offered with those on their statements of results will be demobilised” he warned.
