From HUSSAINI MUHAMMAD BABA, Abuja
The National Youth Service Corps has said that some foreign students didn’t show up in Camp despite they upload their details during the online registration.
This was stated by the NYSC Director-General, Brig-Gen Shuaibu Ibrahim at the Kubwa Orientation Camp in the Federal Capital Territory.
The DG said he arrested fake corps members during the Batch B 2019 Orientation exercise and have been prosecuted in court and jailed, adding that the scheme’s clampdown on fake graduates and brought some rationale into the process.
“In the Batch B streams 1 and 2, we made several arrests and I am happy to inform Nigerians that some have been prosecuted and jailed last week” Said the DG
The DG lamented that “During the 2019 Batch C mobilization, over 20,000 foreign-trained Nigerians uploaded online for mobilization but through our measures of physical verification, only 3,420 showed up. This is to tell you that we are good, because I warned them earlier that if they are not qualified, they should not show up”.
“We have not arrested any fake corps member in camps in this current orientation exercise going on.”
On the payment of minimum wage to corps members, Ibrahim insisted that the Federal Government had approved the minimum wage for the corps members and that they should wait for payment
