NYSC

The management of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has raised the alarm over what it termed fake advertisement on the scheme’s trust fund on social media.

The scheme in a statement titled: “Re: NYSC Trust Fund (NYSCTF) 2023: Boost Your Business Dreams….”, signed by the director, Press and Public Relations, Eddy Megwa, Saturday, warned corps members and the public not to fall prey to fraudsters who are trying to defraud them through this means.

“The attention of NYSC management has been drawn to the above fake advertisement making the rounds, especially on the social media.

“Management wishes to state emphatically that the advertisement is not from the NYSC. It is the handiwork of fraudsters bent on defrauding unsuspecting Nigerians, particularly serving and ex-corps members of their resources.

“The NYSC Trust Fund is still awaiting Mr. President’s assent. Therefore the existence of an NYSC Portal and link to register for the fund is only a ruse. When the Trust Fund is passed into Law, modalities to access the fund shall be officially made known to Nigerians,” the statement reads in part.
