President Bola Tinubu has ordered the ministry of education

Youth Service Corps (NYSC) scheme.

The president gave the directive during his presentation at
the varsity’s 13th convocation ceremony on April 13 at the university’s
convocation arena in Jabi, Abuja.

Speaking on behalf of Tinubu, Biodun Saliu, the deputy
executive secretary of the National Universities Commission (NUC), also said

participate in Law School in the country for equal opportunities.

“With the changing demographics of our great nation, the
government has recognised the importance of allowing NOUN graduates to
participate in the NYSC scheme,” he said.

 “The doors of the Law
School are now open to the graduates, ensuring equal opportunities for all. Any
remaining concerns or uncertainties should be promptly addressed by the Federal
Ministry of Education.
