The recently appointed head of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), DG Shuaibu Ibrahim has revealed his plans to clamp down on institutions that submit unqualified students’ names for NYSC mobilization.
According to him, any academic institution found guilty of such would be blacklisted, hence its students would not be able to participate in the program.
He further stated that such sanctions would serve as a note of warning to others in the habit.
Shuaibu made his stand known at an event which saw the attendance of Data Entry Officers from Nigerian schools, as well as NYSC Relocation Officers.
As the body prepares to mobilize graduates for its 2019 Batch B program, the DG stressed that all stakeholders should ensure that unqualified students are not included in their lists.
He iterated, “ “Corps-producing institutions are warned not to enroll unqualified graduates into the mobilisation process of the scheme. I advise all of you, participants, not to fall into the temptation of unscrupulous elements that may want to truncate the mobilisation process.
“The NYSC will blacklist any corps-producing institution that is involved in fraudulent mobilisation of unqualified graduates in order to serve as a deterrent to others. As leaders, do the right thing. Let us maintain good integrity and check your data correctly.”
