The Director-General of NYSC, Brigadier General Shuaibu Ibrahim has reiterated the zero tolerance of the Scheme against mobilising unqualified graduates for National Service.
He said the NYSC Scheme would not relent in its efforts towards sanitising the mobilization process as the NYSC Act does not allow the Scheme to mobilize unqualified graduates to participate in the Service Corps.
