Dogara resumes duty as substantive NYSC DG

President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the appointment of Brigadier General Yusha’u Dogara Ahmed as the 20th Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC).

Dogara Ahmed according to close sources will take over from Mrs Christy Uba who was named the Overseer of the NYSC in November 2022.

It could be recalled that President Buhari in a letter, with reference number, SGF.50/S.10/37, November 21, 2022, sacked Brigadier General Muhammad Fadah, barely six months after his appointment on allegations of corruption, nepotism, religious bias, qualifications and age falsification.

President Buhari, therefore, ordered that the most senior director should take charge pending the appointment of a substantive DG.

Dogara Ahmed, who had served in the NYSC as a military Assistance to previous DG  and had also served as a commandant, at Command Secondary School, Ipaja, Lagos will be resuming duty on Monday January 30, 2023.
