More than 25,000 Nigerian graduates who studied in the Republic of Niger have remained unable to commence their National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) programme, seven years after completing their studies, the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has said.

NANS President, Abubakar Muhammad Uwaisu, disclosed this while addressing journalists in Abuja, describing the situation as a prolonged and unresolved crisis that has left thousands of affected graduates stranded and their career progression stalled.

Uwaisu noted that the graduates fulfilled all academic and legal requirements, including obtaining clearance from the Federal Ministry of Education and registering with the NYSC, yet they have been excluded from mobilisation.
He stressed that the affected individuals are not unqualified, but victims of systemic failure, adding that their continued delay has placed their lives and ambitions on hold.

According to him, the issue has persisted for years without a clear resolution, raising concerns about possible deliberate attempts to frustrate the mobilisation process. He alleged that certain interests may be behind the prolonged delay.

The NANS president further pointed to disputed communications allegedly originating from authorities in the Republic of Niger, which he said have contributed to the impasse. However, he maintained that the Nigerien government has denied issuing such correspondence, insisting that official communications are conducted strictly through diplomatic channels.

Uwaisu questioned why verified documents submitted by the graduates appear to be disregarded while unverified claims are given attention, warning that the situation reflects a broader institutional failure.

He described the development as “institutional injustice,” highlighting its psychological, financial and social toll on the affected graduates.

Uwaisu also cautioned that if not urgently addressed, the situation could escalate into a diplomatic concern between Nigeria and the Republic of Niger.
