NYSC Blacklists Eight Foreign Universities

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has blacklisted eight universities in Benin Republic, Niger and Cameroon from sending students to participate in its 2021 Batch A orientation exercise.

The affected institutions include Al-Nahda International University (Niger Republic); Ecole Superieur Sainte Felicite (Benin Republic); Ecole Superieur D Administration et DEconomics (Benin Republic); Ecole Superieur DEnseignement Professionelle Le Berger – ESEP Le Berger (Benin Republic); and Ecole Superieur St. Louis DAfrique (Benin Republic).

Others are Institute Superieur de Comm. Dord Et De Management – ISFOP (Benin Republic) and the International University, Bamenda (Cameroon).

Shuaib Ibrahim, Director-General of the NYSC, had accused universities in Benin Republic of presenting unqualified candidates for the one-year mandatory national service.

He noted that since his assumption of office, he realised that some of the corps members were returned by their employers to NYSC on the grounds that they were not qualified to teach or some them could not read and so on.
