JUST-IN: After Fadah’s Removal As NYSC DG, Uba Assumes Office As Overseer

The Director, Information and Communications Technology (ICT) of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Mrs Christy Uba, has taken over the leadership of the Scheme in the capacity of Overseer pending the appointment of a substantive Director General by President Muhammadu Buhari.

The development followed the removal of Brigadier General Muhammad Kaku Fadah as Director General of NYSC by the President last week.

In a press statement by the Director, Press and Public Relations, NYSC, Mrs Uba became the Overseer given that she is the most senior Director in the Scheme.

It would be recalled that Buhari on November 17, 2022 approved the immediate removal of Fadah as the Director-General of NYSC after six months in office.

Reports suggested that the President ordered Fadah’s removal due to his incompetence and was asked to hand over to the most senior official within the NYSC.

The press statement reads; “Following the removal of Brigadier General Muhammad Kaku Fadah as Director General, National Youth Service Corps by President Muhammadu Buhari GCFR, Mrs Christy Uba, Director, Information and Communications Technology, the most senior Director in the Scheme has taken over the leadership of the Corps in the capacity of Overseer, pending the appointment of a substantive Director General by Mr President.”
