Have you been forging your NYSC medical report? They are coming for you
“This year all the medical papers we got we have sorted them out state by state and sent them to all the secretariat and we ask them to go the hospital to find out if the papers are real, but to our greatest surprise, we found out that those hospital don’t exists and where the hospitals exist no doctor and when there are doctors , the signature was forged so we have decided that those corps members will not go unpunished and they will also be queried and asked to do labour work,” the NYSC DG disclosed.National Youth Service Corps members, who falsify medical reports to secure deployment to new stations are in for new trouble.
The Director General of the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, Johnson Olawuni, who disclosed this in Abuja on Wednesday, said the new development resulted from past fake medical reports submitted by corps members.
According to him, the subsequent certificates will now undergo stringent validation, including confirmation
with the respective hospitals.
“On the case of relocation, the management will apply full weight of the law on any corps member that procures fake medical papers for the purpose of effecting relocation,” he said.
“I wish to make it clear that medical papers submitted for the purpose of seeking for relocation will be subjected to thorough scrutiny and any case of forgery will be visited with commensurate punishment in line with the NYSC bye-law.”
Speaking at the media chat, the Director of Corps Mobilizations, Anthony Ani, explained how the posting of corps members to various state are made.
“Our posting policy says 70 are to be posted to rural areas, while 30 are to be posted to urban areas. Most of the postings that we do, the employers who need the services of the corps members would have written to the state coordinator and before they go to orientation camp, they collect those request and those are the request they will be looking at while they are posting,” he explained.
