Other areas listed in his plans for the corps are “sustaining the digitisation of the operations of the scheme; and deepening NYSC’s impact on rural development through community development service”.
Meanwhile, following his reported removal, Fadah is said to have been asked to hand over to the most senior official within the NYSC.
The senior official who takes over from Fadah is expected to act as DG of the corps pending the announcement of a new appointment.
