The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has taken decisive action against unqualified graduates, demobilizing 54 individuals who were illegally mobilized for youth service by the University of Calabar. This move is part of the scheme’s ongoing efforts to prevent unqualified graduates from receiving the NYSC certificate of national service.
Director-General Brig.-Gen. Yusha’u Ahmed stated that the demobilized candidates will face prosecution, while 19 others who registered online have been prevented from serving. Additionally, four certificates of national service have been withheld, bringing the total number of invalidated certificates to 178.
The D-G commended the University of Calabar’s Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Florence Obi, for reporting the mobilization of unqualified graduates, and emphasized the need for integrity in the mobilization process. He vowed to intensify collaboration with stakeholders to prevent such incidents and called on employers to verify the authenticity of NYSC certificates.
