18/11/22 Removal/DG
President Muhammadu Buhari has allegedly approved the removal of the Director General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brigadier-General Mohammed K. Fadah from office.
According to sources from the Ministry of Youths and Sports Development who pleaded anonymity, the Director General was removed over incompetence.
This is coming six months after the Director General took over the mantle of leadership.
He had formally assumed office as the 19th NYSC DG on Wednesday, May 18, this year after his appointment as replacement for his predecessor, Major Ibrahim Shuaibu.
Some of the policy trust unveiled by General Fadah were:
- improvement of the security and general welfare of corps members
- enhancement of staff welfare, industrial harmony and
- human capacity development for higher productivity.
Others are
- improving the gains of the NYSC Ventures and the Skill Acquisition and Entrepreneurship Development (SAED) Programme,
- sustaining the digitization of the operations of the scheme for enhanced efficiency, and
- deepening the impact of NYSC on rural development through the Community Development Service.
He had allegedly been asked to hand over to the most senior civil servant in the organisation, who would act as Director General in the interim.
