We’ve discovered that many foreign-trained graduates can’t defend their qualifications – NYSC DG

The Director-General, National Youths Service Corps, Brig-Gen. Mohammed Kaku Fadah has said that the organization has found that many foreign-trained graduates cannot defend their qualifications.

In his address, the Director-General of the NYSC, Brigadier General Mohammed Kaku Fadah, disclosed that during the 2022 Batch ‘B’ Streams I and II orientation programmes, field officers detected a good number of prospective corps members, especially those claiming to be foreign-trained, with shocking inability to defend their supposed educational qualifications.

He said a series of confessions were extracted from them and expressed the hope that the confessions would assist in carrying out further investigations.

He said there was a compelling need for school managers and other stakeholders in education to rise to the occasion and nip the problem in the bud.

The NYSC DG added:

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