The Governing Council of Usmanu Danfodiyo University Sokoto (UDUS) has dismissed Malam Garba Ahmed, a staff member in the Registry Department, for allegedly uploading unqualified students for National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) mobilisation. The decision was approved at the council's 176th meeting on April 1, 2026, and takes effect immediately, according to a statement by the university's Director of Information and Public Relations, Ismaila Mohammed Yauri. The university cited gross misconduct as the reason for the dismissal and reaffirmed its zero tolerance policy for serious violations.
UDUS's dismissal of a registry staff for involvement in an NYSC mobilisation scam signals a firm stance on accountability within university administrative processes. This action may increase scrutiny on internal verification systems, affecting how students' eligibility is confirmed before NYSC clearance.
