The National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, has demobilised 54 graduates of the University of Calabar who were illegally registered for national service by crooks in the university system.
A statement by the NYSC Director of Information and Public Relations, Eddy Megwa said another 19 initially registered online for mobilisation have been prevented from service while four Certificates of National Service for other culprits were not produced by the scheme
He said the culprits would be prosecuted in accordance with the law, adding that in its continuous efforts to prevent unqualified graduates from getting the NYSC Certificate National Service, a total of 54 Corps members that were illegally mobilized by the University of Calabar were demobilised by the scheme.
Mr Megwa said, “Another 19 among them that initially registered online for mobilisation have been prevented from service, while four Certificates of National Service for other culprits were not produced by the scheme.
“This is in addition to the earlier one hundred and one, 101, certificates recently voided by the scheme, making a total of 178
The statement said the NYSC Director General lauded the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Calabar, Professor Florence Obi for her forthrightness to have earlier hinted the Corps of the mobilisation of unqualified graduates from her institution.
The DG said the NYSC would leave no stone unturned in sanitising its mobilisation process.
He said: “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. I give kudos to the Vice-Chancellor.
