The President of Nigeria, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), has sacked the Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps, Brigadier-General Mohammed Fadah, barely six month after he assumed office in May 2022.
Chief Sunday Dare, the Minister of Sports and Youth Development, has also confirmed the recent development, he gave the confirmation today morning after various online platforms had on Thursday evening broken the news of the disengagement from the NYSC. The minister, while reacting to a message inquiry earlier sent to him, in the early hours of Friday, simply said: “yes”.
A presidency source had said there was an indication that the NYSC DG’s days were numbered when the minister expressed reservations about his attitude.
The former NYSC boss had been instructed to hand over to the most senior official of the corps, who will run it on acting capacity until a new Director-General is appointed.
