As part of measures to strengthen and protect the sanctity of certificates issued by the nation’s tertiary institutions, especially those presented for the one-year mandatory NYSC scheme by eligible graduates, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB), and the National Youth
Service Corps (NYSC) have agreed to streamline the process to ensure that no holder of fake degree certificate is mobilised for the exercise.
The renewed partnership is to enhance incidents in which a certain institution has complained that students who did not graduate from the institution were parading its name and matriculation numbers. He stated that based on the list presented by the institution, it was clear that some of the students had served and had collected their discharge certificate, others still serving while some did not bother to report for mobilisation.
He disclosed that such students would be made to face the consequences of their action even if they had completed their one-year
service.
In his concluding remarks, the DG, NYSC, expressed appreciation to the board for the visit and said, “Your coming is an eye opener as we would, going forward, continue to protect the sanctity of our education system while upholding the mission and vision of the Corps.
