Stop Enrolling Unqualified Graduates into NYSC- DG Warns Versities

-
The Director- General of the National Youth Service Corps, Brigadier General Shuaibu Ibrahim, has expressed disappointment and warned Tertiary institutions in the country against enrolling unqualified graduates in the scheme.

He said the NYSC would blacklist any higher institution guilty of fraudulent mobilization of unqualified graduates in order to serve as a deterrent to others.

The Scheme is set to mobilize its Batch B prospective corps members by June amid reports from the Ministry of Finance that the monthly allowance paid to the members has been increased to N30,000, which is also the new minimum wage.

While addressing Data Entry Officers, from Tertiary Institutions and Development and Relocation Officers from NYSC at a workshop held in Abuja on Monday, the DG warned that unqualified graduates should not be enrolled in the forthcoming mobilisation.

In his words, " Corps-producing institutions are warned not to enroll unqualified graduates into the mobilization 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 mobilization process. The NYSC will blacklist any corp-producing institution that is involved in fraudulent mobilization 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."
