The Director General of the National Youth Service Corps, Brig Gen YD Ahmed, has insisted that the discharge certificate presented by Enugu State Governor-elect, Peter Mbah, is not a genuine document issued by the NYSC.
Brig Gen Ahmed confirmed this on Arise TV on Friday, and added that the issue of whether Mbah has a valid NYSC certificate or not is not up for debate because Mbah has already been informed that the certificate he presented is fake.
“He came to me and I called my director to confirm the certificate and we discovered that the certificate was fake and I told him…I wonder how elites who have gone to school will resort to black market certificates.
“Everyone knows how we issue our certificate in NYSC we don’t give it in hotel rooms or houses,” the DG said.
In response, Mbah has filed a lawsuit against the NYSC, seeking N20 billion in damages for the harm he claims to have suffered due to the controversy surrounding his certificate.
