The management of the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, has invalidated 101 certificates of persons fraudulently mobilized for national service.
This is contained in a statement issued on Monday in Abuja by Eddy Megwa, NYSC Director of Information and Public Relations.
Megwa urged members of the public, especially corps employers, government ministries, departments and agencies, MDAs, corporate and religious organizations, multi-national companies, crop-producing institutions, and other critical stakeholders of NYSC, to take note of prompt action.
He urged members of the public to always confirm, from NYSC National Directorate Headquarters in Abuja, the authenticity of certificates of national service, as well as exemption and exclusion letters being presented for any purpose.
The statement reads in part: “The 101 persons were illegally mobilized by the University of Calabar for national service during the 2021, 2022, and 2023 NYSC service years.
“Out of the figure, 99 were under-listed for service, while two others were exempted from service.
“Consequently, the management of NYSC hereby restates its strong commitment to ensuring that unqualified locally and foreign-trained Nigerian youth, especially those purported to have graduated from unaccredited universities, are not recognized.
“We will always ensure only qualified persons are issued with NYSC Certificates of National Service.
“The NYSC certificates of the affected persons have been invalidated forthwith.”
