Buhari sacks DG NYSC, Fadah from office six months after appointment

President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the immediate removal of Brigadier General Muhammad Kukah Fadah from office less than six months after assuming office as the Director General of the National Youth Service Corps, (NYSC).

The DG has been ordered to hand over to the most senior civil servant in the scheme.

No reasons were not provided as at press time by the Presidency for the sacking of Fadah.

However, a source in the Presidential Villa, revealed that the NYSC boss’s removal was not unconnected with the fact that he has exhibited “glaring incompetence” in the six months he has piloted the affairs of the NYSC.

The most senior civil servant is to act as the DG NYSC in the interim.
