The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), has warned that forgers of its discharge or exemption certificates risk jail term, option of fine or both as penalties, if apprehended.
The Director, Legal Services of the scheme, Mr Ahmed Ibrahim, stated this on Monday in Abuja during the 2023 Legal Officers’ Capacity Building Training.
Ibrahim, in his words, maintained that the NYSC Act contains all the infractions that people should know about, noting that any case of forgery would be treated legally, as the culprit will be arrested and charged to court by relevant agencies.
Commenting on the prospects of the training, Ibrahim maintained that it is to stimulate efficiency and higher corporate performance, which is in line with one of the focal areas of the scheme.
He explained that the training was organised to enhance the capacity and knowledge of legal officers in the scheme on their professional roles in the defence of the Public Service in Nigeria.
The Director added that the training was expected to harness the potential of the legal officers in the scheme for improved professional services.
