President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the appointment of
Yusha’u Ahmed, a brigadier-general, as the director-general of the National
Youth Service Corps (NYSC).
Ahmed is expected to assume office as the NYSC DG on Monday.
Eddy Megwa, the NYSC spokesperson, confirmed the development on Sunday.
In November 2022, Christy Uba, director of information and
communications technology, NYSC, took over the leadership of the corps in
“overseer” capacity.
Uba took over after Mohammed Fadah was removed from his
position as director-general of the NYSC.
TheCable had reported that Fadah was removed over alleged
incompetence, and asked to hand over to the most senior official in the corps.
Fadah’s removal came less than seven months after he assumed
office — he took over in May 2022 and became the 19th person to hold the
position of NYSC DG.
Announcing Uba’s appointment, Megwa had said she will act in
the capacity of an “overseer”, pending the appointment of a new
director-general for the corps.
“Following the removal of Brigadier General Muhammad Kaku
Fadah as Director General, National Youth Service Corps, by President Muhammadu
Buhari GCFR, Mrs Christy Uba, Director, Information and Communications
Technology, the most senior director in the scheme has taken over the
leadership of the corps in the capacity of overseer, pending the appointment of
a substantive Director General by Mr President,” the NYSC said.
