The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) Coordinator in Kano State, Ladan Baba, says no fewer than eight foreign graduates were refused registration due to incomplete and inconsistent documents.
Mr Baba revealed this on Monday during the passing out parade of the 2019 Batch ‘B’ Corps members after three weeks orientation course at the NYSC permanent camp in Kusalla, Karaye Local Government Area.
He said some of the graduates were also blocked online from registration as a result of failure to defend their degrees as foreign students after physical verification of their results.
“As a matter of fact, some of them cannot express themselves verbally.
“More worrisome is the fact that some of them did not undergo any academic pursuits, but obtained certificates through illegal means with allegations that some did so in Kano and environs.
“This will undoubtedly require urgent action by the government and good people of Kano in collaboration with the dogged security agencies in the state to checkmate this ugly trend that will affect us negatively,” Mr Baba said.
He said out of the 1,700 corps members posted to the state for their service year, 1,592 were registered and went through various skill acquisition trainings.
The coordinator called on the corps members to contribute immensely towards the development of the state and country
