BREAD SELLER FRAUDULENTLY MOBILISED FOR NYSC APPREHENDED

By: Kingsley O. Bayode 

The Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brigadier General Yushau Ahmed, has said that one of the "graduates" fraudulently mobilised for the scheme by the University of Calabar, Cross Rivers State, is a bread seller who did not attend the institution. This is coming on the back of 101 certificates that were recently voided by the scheme, making it 178. Ahmed commended the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Calabar, Professor Florence Obi, for her forthrightness in having earlier hinted the scheme on the mobilisation of unqualified graduates from her institution. He insisted that the scheme would leave no stone unturned in sanitising its mobilisation process.

"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 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," Ahmed said.
