“Brigadier General Ahmed said ” I would like to assure everyone that we remain unwaivering in our determination to block any threat to the credibility of the mobilization, including attempts by unqualified persons to get enlisted for National Service.
“Over they years, we have blacklisted local and foreign institutions found to be engaged in fraudulent practices, in addition to making formal reports on their activities to regulatory authorities.”
In his goodwill message, the Minister for the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, Barrister Nyesom Wike opined that there is the need for the adoption of innovative strategies to surmount the observed challenges and engage the best practices in the deployment of young graduates in national development efforts.
