The National Youth Service Corps NYSC is soliciting support from various stakeholders against mobilization of unqualified graduates for National Service.
According to the service,
the act poses serious threat to the socio-economic wellbeing of the country, especially when allowed to penetrate the workforce of sensitive sectors such as health and education.
The Director General of National Youth Service Corps, Brigadier General YD Ahmed made this appeal in his welcome address at the Opening Ceremony of the 2024 Batch ‘A’ Pre-Mobilization Workshop, with the theme; “Unlocking Innovative Solutions to the Challenges of the Mobilization Process”, held in Abuja.
The Director General said Management is committed to repositioning the Scheme for greater efficiency and will continue to embrace innovations, especially digital solutions that will ensure seamless mobilization exercise.
The DG said that the physical verification exercise and other measures adopted by NYSC has gone a long way in exposing fake graduates, including those claiming to be foreign-trained.
“I would like to assure everyone that we remain unwaivering in our determination to block any threat to the credibility of the mobilization, including attempts by unqualified persons to get enlisted for National Service.
Over they years, we have blacklisted local and foreign institutions found to be engaged in fraudulent practices, in addition to making formal reports on their activities to regulatory authorities”, the DG said.
