The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has invalidated the certificates of national service issued to 101 graduates of the University of Calabar for allegedly being fraudulently mobilised for 2021, 2022 and 2023 NYSC Service Years.
Director, Information and Public Relations at the NYSC, Eddy Megwa said this in an advertorial on Monday.
It said: “This is to inform members of the public that the underlisted Ninety-Nine (99) persons and two (2) others on exemption were fraudulently mobilised by the University of Calabar for National Service during the 2021, 2022 and 2023 NYSC Service Years.
“Management of National Youth Service Corps hereby restate its strong commitment to ensuring that unqualified locally and foreign-trained Nigerian youths, especially those purported to have graduated from unaccredited universities are not recognised, while only qualified persons are issued with NYSC Certificates of National Service.
“Arising from the above, the Certificates of National Service of the underlisted persons have been invalidated forthwith by the NYSC Management.
“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.
“In addition, members of the public are also enjoined to confirm from NYSC National Directorate Headquarters in Abuja, the authenticity of Certificates of National Service, Exemption and Exclusion Letters being presented for any purpose.”
