FG Orders Screening Of NSITF Workers’ NYSC certificates
The Federal Government on Wednesday directed the new management board of the of the Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund to screen the National Youth Service Corps certificates of all the workers of the NSITF and ascertain their authenticity.
Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige, gave the directive to the reconstituted board of the Fund, shortly after their inauguration, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
It would be recalled that a former NSITF boss, Micheal Akabogu, was sacked over a forged NYSC certificate.
Ngige said the NSITF and the ministry could not afford to get bad publicity again because of avoidable situations especially among workers.
He said, “In order to maintain, protect and promote a very viable and thriving organisation, I have four major tasks before the new Management Board of the NSITF.
“To screen and vet the academic and NYSC certificates of National Service of all staff in the Fund. To ensure the full implementation of the NSITF Restructuring Report.”
The chairman of the board, Emmanuel Nwosu, said his team would weed out those with forged academic credentials.
The new Managing Director of the NSITF, Maureen Allagoa, promised accountability.
