VC Fishes Out Bread Seller Mobilised For Service Who Never Attended School

But for alert officials of the National Youth Service Scheme (NYSC),a bread seller who didn’t attend school would have been mobilised.

This revelation was made by the Director General, National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brigadier General Yushau Ahmed.

Ahmed, said that one of the “graduates” fraudulently mobilised for the scheme was actually a bread seller, and was mobilised by the University of Calabar, Cross Rivers State.

However, it took the alertness of the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Florence Obi to detect the fraud, who in turn alerted the NYSC authorities.

For this, she had been commended by the NYSC DG, who said she had earlier hinted the scheme on the mobilisation of unqualified graduates from her institution.

“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”, the DG informed

“Previously, a bread seller was mobilized 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.

He has as a result, reiterated ihat the scheme would leave no stone unturned in sanitising its mobilisation process.
