NYSC boss warns against obtaining fake medical reports to influence postings
The Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Major General Shuaibu Ibrahim has warned that any Corps member caught with fake medical reports for the purpose of obtaining concessional posting, will face the full wrath of the law
The DG who said it is criminal to present fake medical reports, also advised the NYSC members against online messages from criminals offering postings to preferred locations.
He also decried the situation whereby some Prospective Corps Members with serious illnesses conceal their conditions in the course of registering for enlistment in the National Service.
According to him, the essence of disclosure of true state of health by Prospective Corps Members was to help with decisions regarding their deployment, level of participation in camp activities and medical care.
He made the disclosure on Wednesday while addressing the 2022 Batch ‘A’ Stream One Corps Members at the Yakubu Gowon NYSC Permanent Orientation Camp, Fanisau, Jigawa State.
Ibrahim stressed that postings and relocation were done free of charge, and warned them against making payments to anyone for those purposes.
He called on Corps Members to be guided by the spirit and letters of the Oath of Allegiance they swore to both within and beyond the service period.
The Director-General also enjoined them to continue to preach the messages of peace and unity wherever they found themselves.
Ibrahim advised the Corps Members to make patriotism, honesty and hard work their watchwords, stressing that they should be focused on their dreams.
