The National Youth Service Corps’ director-general, Brigadier General Mohammed Fadah, has been fired. Fadah succeeded Major General Shuaibu Ibrahim as the 19th person to hold the position when she was named DG of NYSC in May 2022. Eddy Megwa, the NYSC’s director of press and public relations, acknowledged the news but could not provide any other details.
According to The Cable newspaper, President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered Mohammed Fadah’s speedy resignation as director general of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC). The president’s decision, which was made on Thursday, November 17, was made in response to worries over “incompetence.”
According to reports, Fadah was instructed to turn over to the top NYSC official. The senior officer who succeeds Fadah is anticipated to serve as the corps’ director general (DG) until a new appointment is made public.
In an attempt to confirm the story, NYSC spokesman, Eddy Megwa, ask the public to wait for the official announcement that would be issued on Friday 18th.
NYSC silent over reasons for Fadah’s sack when contacted, the NYSC spokesman, Eddy Megwa, simply asked The Punch newspaper to wait for an official statement that would be issued on Friday, November 18.
Megwa, however, confirmed the development but could not disclose the reasons for his sack.
Fadah, who took over as the 19th person to hold the position of NYSC DG in May 2022, is reportedly being fired just months after he started working there. At the time of his appointment, he had objectives for the NYSC that included enhancing staff welfare, enhancing corps member security and welfare, and enhancing venture profits. His aims for the corps also include keeping the scheme’s operations digital and strengthening the impact of the NYSC on rural development through community development work.
