NYSC Voids Certificates of 101 UNICAL Graduates Due to ‘Illegal Mobilization’

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has invalidated the certificates of 101 individuals mobilised for national service by the University of Calabar (UNICAL) during the 2021, 2022, and 2023 service years.

According to a statement signed by the Director, Information and Public Relations of the Corp, Eddy Megwa, the organisation took this action to maintain the integrity of the national service programme and prevent unqualified individuals from participating.

The statement added that the affected individuals were found to have been mobilised fraudulently, 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.
