Yusha’u Ahmed, a Brigadier General and Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, has commended the Vice Chancellor of the University of Calabar, Florence Banku Obi, for drawing the NYSC’s attention to the illegal corps mobilisations traced to Unical.
Ahmed who spoke in Abuja after announcing the demobilization of 54 illegally mobilised graduates of the University of Calabar, effectively preventing them from collecting discharge certificates, maintained that, “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. I give kudos to the Vice-Chancellor.”
Of the 54, nineteen of them who initially registered online for mobilization, have been prevented from service, while four (4) Certificates of National Service for other culprits, were not produced by the scheme, he emphasized. He made a startling revelation that: “previously, a bread seller was mobilised on the graduation list from the same institution, there are bad eggs in many places that generate matriculation numbers and courses for their candidates”, he revealed.
He stated further that the scheme would intensify its collaboration with Heads of Corps Producing Institutions and relevant stakeholders in the country to stop this racket, adding that any failure in the mobilisation process from any school falls on the integrity of the management of such an institution. “Those who are responsible for imputing the data of graduates should be people of integrity.”
