NYSC Cancels Certificates Of 101 UNICAL Graduates Due To ‘Illegal Mobilisation’

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has nullified the certificates of 101 individuals who were mobilised for national service by the University of Calabar (UNICAL) during the 2021, 2022, and 2023 service years.
In a statement issued by the Director of Information and Public Relations of the Corps, Eddy Megwa, it was noted that the organisation took this step to uphold the integrity of the national service programme and prevent the involvement of unqualified individuals.
The statement also revealed that the individuals in question were discovered to have been mobilized through fraudulent means, and their certificates have been canceled immediately as part of the NYSC’s strong commitment to ensuring that only qualified individuals are issued certificates of national service.
The NYSC also advised the public, especially Corps Employers, Government Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs), Corporate and Religious Organizations, Multi-National Companies, and Corps Producing Institutions, to verify the authenticity of certificates presented to them.
