NYSC Launches Investigation Into Possible Fake Graduates In Scheme

Must read

National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, has said it is investigating unqualified graduates who were fraudulently mobilised for the National Service by some tertiary institutions.

Shuaibu Ibrahim, the director-general of the scheme, made this known on Tuesday, July 16, 2019, during a meeting with the Acting Chairman, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Ibrahim Magu, in Abuja.

Ibrahim, who noted that some of the institutions under investigation were based abroad, requested the support of the EFCC in checkmating the fraud.

He said, “Mr. Chairman, it is very unfortunate that some institutions of higher learning, particularly in Cotonou, Benin Republic present to us people who didn’t go to the four walls of the university as graduates for mobilisation.

“Currently, we are investigating some of such so-called graduates, many of whom cannot write or spell any word in English.”

He assured that under his leadership the NYSC would intensify the fight against corruption within the national youth service system.

On his part, Magu condemned the sale of academic qualifications to unqualified graduates; pledging the support of the EFCC in combating the menace.

He also commended the NYSC for educating Nigerians on the dangers of corruption through the anti-corruption Community Development Service groups for Corps members.
