Director General, National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brigadier General Yushau Ahmed, has given snippet of information about the voiding of 178 certificates awarded unqualified persons.
For the context, 101 NYSC certificates were voided on discovery that the awardees didn’t merit it on the grounds of illegal mobilisation, with 77 others later found out.
The NYSC DG said the discoveries were owing to University of Calabar Vice Chancellor Professor Florence Obi whom he paid tribute to her forthrightness.
Ahmed said Obi approached NYSC to make the revelation, saying, “The Vice-Chancellor of the University of Calabar came here to report that she observed some names appeared on the institution’s list and they ought not to have been there.
“She checked the list the school gave us and I told her that their certificates would be invalidated.
“Previously, a bread seller was mobilized on the graduation list from the same institution. There are bad eggs in many places that generate matriculation numbers and courses for their candidates.”
