President Muhammadu Buhari has reportedly fired the Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brigadier-General Mohammed Fadah.
It was reported that Buhari’s decision was taken on Thursday and comes amid concerns over “incompetence”.
Fadah’s removal comes only six months after his appointment as NYSC boss in May, 2022.
His plans for the NYSC at the time of his appointment were; “improvement of security and welfare of corps members; enhancement of staff welfare; and improving the gains of NYSC ventures”.
Other areas are; “sustaining the digitisation of the operations of the scheme; and deepening NYSC’s impact on rural development through community development service”.
Fadah was asked to hand over to the most senior official in the NYSC.
The official who takes over from him will act as DG pending the announcement of a new appointment.
