On Monday, the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) annulled the certificates of 101 individuals who had been fraudulently mobilized for national service by the University of Calabar (UNICAL) for the 2021, 2022, and 2023 service years.
EKO HOT BLOG reports that this action, announced by NYSC Director of Information and Public Relations Eddy Megwa, is part of ongoing efforts to clean up the system and uphold the integrity of the NYSC scheme.
Megwa emphasized that the NYSC is committed to tackling fraudulent mobilization and warned Corps Employers, Government Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs), Corporate and Religious Organizations, Multi-National Companies, and Corps Producing Institutions to verify the authenticity of certificates.
He also encouraged the public to confirm the validity of certificates at the NYSC National Directorate Headquarters in Abuja to prevent the acceptance or employment of fake corps members.
“The Management of the National Youth Service Corps hereby restates its strong commitment to ensuring that unqualified locally and foreign-trained Nigerian youths, especially those purported to have graduated from unaccredited universities, are not recognized, while only qualified individuals are issued NYSC Certificates of National Service.
“Arising from the above, the Certificates of National Service of the underlisted individuals have been invalidated immediately by the NYSC Management.
“Members of the public, especially Corps Employers, Government Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs), Corporate and Religious Organizations, Multi-National Companies, Corps Producing Institutions, and other critical stakeholders of NYSC are to take note of this advertorial for prompt action.
“In addition, members of the public are also enjoined to confirm from the NYSC National Directorate Headquarters in Abuja, the authenticity of Certificates of National Service, Exemption, and Exclusion Letters being presented for any purpose,” Megwa stated
