The management of Akwa Ibom State Polytechnic has released an important notice to Prospective Corps Members (PCMs) and HND II students who have completed and successfully defended their final-year projects.

According to the institution, this update introduces a mandatory requirement linked to project documentation and NYSC mobilisation. Students affected by this directive are expected to act promptly to avoid delays during clearance and mobilisation processes.

Mandatory NERD Registration for Project Clearance

All PCMs and HND II students who have defended their projects are required to register their project details with the Nigeria Education Repository and Databank (NERD).

This registration is essential for obtaining NERD clearance, which serves as a prerequisite for participation in the NYSC Orientation Camp. Without completing the NERD clearance process, affected students may not be mobilised for the National Youth Service Corps programme.

Commencement Date for NERD Project Registration

Note to Students:They are advised to begin their project registration with NERD from Tuesday, 6 January 2026. Early registration is strongly recommended to prevent last-minute complications that could affect NYSC processing.

Important Advisory to Students

Akwa Ibom State Polytechnic urges all concerned students to fully comply with this directive and complete the required registration within the stipulated timeframe. Timely action will ensure a smooth clearance process and uninterrupted NYSC mobilisation.
