The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has withdrawn certificates of national service issued to 101 University of Calabar, Cross River State graduates on the charge of fraudulent mobilization.
According to the Director of Information and Public Relations of the NYSC, Eddy Megwa, those affected were wrongly mobilized for service in 2021, 2022, and 2023.
He said: “This is to inform members of the public that 99 persons and two 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 the National Youth Service Corps hereby restates 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, their certificates of national service have been invalidated forthwith by the NYSC management.’’
