The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission said it receive a request from the National Youth Service Corps to check the activities of unpatriotic Nigerians who sell their certificates to unqualified graduates to be able to undergo the youth service.
Acting chairman of the anti-corruption body, Mr Ibrahim Magu, made this known when he received the NYSC Director General, Brig. Gen Shuaibu Ibrahim, in his office in Abuja .
He said “We condemn the activities of unpatriotic elements who bring shame to the nation by their insatiable desire to make money at all costs, including the sale of certificates to unqualified graduates. It is very unfortunate that some institutions of higher learning , particularly in Cotonou , Benin Republic , present to us people who didn’t go to the four walls of the university as graduates for mobilisation .Currently , we are investigating some of such so called graduates, many of whom cannot write or spell any word in English.”
