Removal of NYSC DG: Buhari acted to save Scheme from embarrassment – CESJET

The Centre for Social Justice, Equity And Transparency (CESJET) has lauded the removal of Brigadier Muhammad Fadah as the Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), dubbing him as unfit for the position.

At a briefing in Abuja on Friday, the organisation said President Muhammadu Buhari acted promptly to save the Scheme from what it described as “further embarrassment”.

Fadah’s removal came barely six months after he assumed office in May 2022 and became the 19th person to hold the position of NYSC DG.

Addressing journalists, CESJET’s executive director, Comrade Isaac Ikpa, said Fadah demonstrated a lack of vision and purpose for the NYSC and was rightfully shown the exit.

“As an organization dedicated to good governance in Nigeria, we welcome the decision of President Muhammadu Buhari to relieve the NYSC DG of his position, which is long overdue. Brig Gen MK Fadah has been a misfit from the first day he assumed office. He displayed a lack of vision and purpose for achieving the mandate of the critical NYSC,” Ikpa said.
