The National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, has explained how an
undercover reporter, Umar Audu breached its system and got mobilised for the
scheme after serving in 2019.
NYSC spokesman, Eddy Megwa explained that Audu used
different phone numbers to beat the system.
Megwa’s explanation is coming after Umar detailed how he
bagged a four-year degree within two months and later got mobilised for the
NYSC scheme.
However, Megwa while appearing on Channels Tv, Sunrise Daily
said NYSC was working to forestall such incident in the future.
According to Megwa: “It is not that we don’t have checks and
balances in place to detect possible breaches of the system.
“When the undercover reporter first put in his data, the
system rejected him because he had served in the scheme before.
“He later changed his email address and his phone number
which made the system to accept him. And he was initially posted to Osun State.
“He did that because he was out for a particular purpose. We
are looking at the situation and ensure that it does not happen again.
“We don’t have a database of graduates to serve in the
scheme.
“We only rely on the lists sent to us by the senates of the
various universities stating the number of graduates to expect from them”.
