Many foreign-trained graduates are unqualified: Nigeria

ABUJA, Nigeria (The Informant247) – Nigeria’s National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) on Thursday said its field officers detected a good number of corps members, especially those claiming to be foreign-trained, with shocking inability to defend their supposed educational qualifications during a recent orientation exercise.

NYSC is a mandatory one-year programme for graduates of tertiary institutions

“During our maiden meeting with registrars of corps-producing institutions in Nigeria held in April 2022, they made commitments regarding the strengthening of their data security,” NYSC boss Brig-Gen. Mohammed Kaku Fadah said.

“We expect that, amongst other steps, the institutions will always ensure that only credible officers are entrusted with the task of the handing data of their graduates being processed for mobilization.”
