In line with the recommendation contained in the report of a disciplinary committee constituted by the national governing board of the scheme, Brigadier-General Ibrahim Shuaib, Director-General, National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), has said about 34 senior staff members of NYSC were dismissed for several offences, including misconduct and indiscipline.

The NYSC Director-General stated that the youth scheme sacked the erring personnel as recommended in the report of a disciplinary committee and approved by the national governing board of the NYSC March 8, 2021.

“The NYSC is also part of society and in any society, we have the good, the bad and the ugly; and of course, the majority of our staff are good, committed, patriotic and disciplined.

“But of course, within, we still have some bad eggs and such bad eggs are disciplined and some have even ended up with a dismissal and so on,” Brigadier-General Shuaib told The Punch.

According to him, every employee must abide by the ethics of the NYSC.

He stated: “We just had one on Monday, March 8, 2021, where the national governing board ratified the disciplinary committee’s report.

“It’s the report of the senior staff committee meeting made up of all the directors and a representative of the Head of Service by the ministry. About 34 workers were dismissed for different offences.”

The NYSC Chief said: “So, we sit down and look at all the disciplinary cases that are forwarded to the headquarters from the states and the headquarters.

A decision will be taken, and then it would be sent to the national governing board for ratification.”
