President Muhammadu Buhari has reportedly removed the Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brigadier-General Mohammed Fadah.
The move comes just six months after Fadah was appointed in May.
Fadah took over from Major General Shuaibu Ibrahim as the 19th person to hold the position.
Buhari took the decision to fire the NYSC boss on Thursday, according to The Cable.
NYSC director of press and public relations, Eddy Megwa, who confirmed the development to Leadership on Thursday night did not disclose reasons for the action.
Fadah’s plans for the NYSC at the time of his appointment included “improvement of security and welfare of corps members; enhancement of staff welfare; and improving the gains of NYSC ventures”.
Other areas in his plans were “sustaining the digitisation of the operations of the scheme; and deepening NYSC’s impact on rural development through community development service.”
