The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has declared invalid the discharge certificates of ninety-nine corps members and two exempted persons mobilized from the University of Calabar.
A statement by the Director Information and Public Relations of the Scheme, Eddy Megwa indicates that
the Certificates of National Service of the affected persons have been invalidated by the NYSC Management.
He stated the Scheme 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 persons are issued with NYSC Certificates of National Service.
“Members of the public, especially Corps Employers, Government Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs), Corporate and Religious Organisations, Multi-National Companies, Corps Producing Institutions and other critical stakeholders of NYSC are to take note of this advertorial for prompt action.
The NYSC also urged the public to confirm from its National Directorate Headquarters in Abuja, the authenticity of Certificates of National Service, Exemption and Exclusion Letters being presented for any purpose, the statement concluded.
