NYSC DG Speaks On Blacklisting Some Nigerian Institutions (See Why)

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) director-general, Shuaibu Ibrahim, has promised to blacklist any institution involved in fraudulent mobilisation of unqualified graduates.

The NYSC boss who made this known while speaking at a workshop organised for data entry officers from tertiary institutions said the action would serve as a deterrent to other tertiary institutions in the country.

He also told the officers that unqualified graduates should not be enrolled in the forthcoming Batch B mobilisation in June.

Online registration for the Batch ‘B’ prospective corps members is scheduled to begin on June 1 and end on June 12, Naija News understands.

“Corps-producing institutions are warned not to enrol 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,” he said.

“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.”

The scheme is a compulsory one-year service period for graduates of tertiary institutions.
