The Service Corps has threatened
to report the schools with highly deficient
graduates to the regulatory bodies for
sanctions following poor quality graduates
being registered by some schools for the
scheme.

The NYSC Director-General, Brig Gen Nnamdi
Okorie-Affia, said this during the 2013 Batch
‘A’ pre-mobilisation workshop entitled
‘Generating Credible Data for a Perfect
Mobilisation Process in Ilorin, Kwara State on
Thursday.

Okorie-Affia, who regretted that many
organisations had rejected corps members
after they found them to be academically
deficient, said the scheme had also
discovered that some higher institutions had
been presenting overage students and
products of internally introduced
unaccredited courses for mobilisation.
He said there were corps members who
could hardly communicate in English
Language, saying the development had
wrongly earned the NYSC a bad name
The army chief said, “You will agree with me
that it is extremely difficult to re-orient a
corps member who cannot read. To
underscore the seriousness of this
challenge, we now have a situation whereby
principals of schools and other employers
reject corps members because they cannot
fit into their work schedule.”
He said getting accurate and credible data
from corps producing institutions for
mobilising eligible graduates had been
difficult.

According to the DG, the data for
mobilisation by corps producing institutions
in 2012 showed that many exceeded the
admission quota approved by their
respective regulatory bodies by as much as
500 per cent.

Okorie-Affa said, “The direct consequences
of this on the scheme is massive corps
population explosion, sometimes exceeding
even the safe bound of acceptable standards
of geometric progression. This has made
planning in the NYSC rather difficult and is
fast drawing the ire of both government and
the general public.

“I instituted an inquiry on illegal fees being
charged corps members by some Corps
Producing Institutions before mobilising
them for national service.”
