The National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, has said it will blacklist institutions involved in fraudulent mobilisation of unqualified graduates.
Director-General of the NYSC, Shuaibu Ibrahim, who stated this while at a workshop organised for data entry officers from tertiary institutions as well as deployment and relocation officers from NYSC on Monday, said the action would serve as a deterrent to other tertiary institutions in the country.
Ibrahim 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.
“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.
“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 NYSC boss said.
The scheme is a compulsory one-year service period for graduates of tertiary institutions.
