The Director General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brig. Gen. Olakunle Nafiu, has warned corps producing institutions not to undermine the credibility of the scheme by providing inaccurate data. At the opening ceremony of the 2026 Batch ‘C’ Pre-Mobilisation Workshop, Nafiu emphasized the importance of accountability, data integrity, and digital innovation for seamless NYSC mobilisation.
He highlighted several challenges affecting the mobilisation process, such as incorrect personal records, unauthorised alterations after senate or academic board approval, uploading of unqualified persons, manipulation or delayed processing of records, weak internal controls, and delays in uploading approved graduation lists. These lapses can generate complaints, increase operational costs, and disrupt the mobilisation calendar, with implications for national planning.
