Governor Mbah had filed a N20 billion suit to seek the court's validation for his discharge certificate disowned by the NYSC.
The Federal High Court, Abuja, on Tuesday, fixed 11 July for hearing of the preliminary objection filed by the National Youth Service Corps against a suit by Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State.
The NYSC, in its priminary objection, maintained it did not issue the certificate in Mr Mbah’s possession. The judge gave the warning after he struck out the motion for joinder filed by the Labour Party and its governorship candidate in the Enugu State poll, Jonathan Edeoga, which they later sought to withdraw.
But graduates who fail to participate in the NYSC scheme before clocking 30 are not entitled to an exemption certificate once they cross the eligibility age. He said he was called up for NYSC and was deployed initially to Nigerian Ports Authority Apapa for his primary assignment, but was rejected by NPA before securing a place at the law firm of Ude & Associates.
