JAMB enlists security operatives to track Nigerians who used fake degrees for NYSC

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has enlisted security operatives to track down individuals who utilized counterfeit university certificates to apply for the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) scheme.

NYSC management has affirmed that such individuals will be prosecuted, even if they have already received discharge certificates.

A recent report uncovered a syndicate in Benin Republic involved in selling university degrees to interested buyers in Nigeria.

An undercover investigation revealed that a reporter obtained a four-year university degree from Cotonou in just six weeks.

Using the forged certificate, the reporter successfully participated in the NYSC scheme without detection.

Numerous stakeholders are calling for an investigation into Nigeria’s Ministry of Education regarding the accreditation granted to foreign universities.

The national assembly has also commenced an investigation into the alleged government complacency in the racketeering saga.

Ahmed stated that the institution presented a list that revealed that some of the students had already collected discharge certificates.

He said some on the list were found to be serving under the scheme while others did not report for mobilisation.

The NYSC DG said such students would be made to face the consequences of their actions even if they had completed the one-year service.
