The Pro-Chancellor of the University of Calabar, UNICAL, Udom Ekpoudom, has commended the National Youth Service Corps for exposing fake graduates who were fraudulently mobilised.
DAILY NIGERIAN reports that the NYSC had on Monday invalidated certificates of over 101 graduates from the institution.
According to a statement by the management of the NYSC, the graduates include 99 illegally mobilised for national service during the 2021, 2022 and 2023 service years.
Speaking during an interview with a journalist, Mr Ekpoudom pledged to take action against the staff involved in mobilisation of these fake graduates from the institution.
He disclosed that the institution was conducting a thorough investigation to identify the staff responsible and vowed to sanction the offenders accordingly.
“NYSC has done very well in this regard. We are trying to identify the staff involved to address the issue appropriately. The individuals are not students; they forged documents to secure employment.
“This is the first step. The next step is to uncover those behind this criminal activity,” he said.
