NYSC Uncovers Fake Graduate, Bread Seller Mobilised For Service

The National Youth Service Corps has uncovered a fake graduate, a bread seller, who was mobilised for service by the University of Calabar, Cross Rivers State. The Director-General of the NYSC, Brigadier General Yushau Ahmed, revealed that the bread seller was among the 101 certificates recently voided by the scheme, bringing the total to 178.

Ahmed commended the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Calabar, Professor Florence Obi, for reporting the incident and hinted that the scheme would leave no stone unturned in sanitising its mobilisation process.

He stated, “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.”

Ahmed further revealed that the bread seller was mobilised on the graduation list from the same institution, stressing that there were bad eggs in many places generating matriculation numbers and courses for their candidates.

He said, “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.”
