The Council of Progressive Yoruba Youth (CPYY) has condemned the appointment of another northern, Brigadier-General Yusha’u Dogara Ahmed as the new Director-General (DG) of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC). The Nigerian Government on Thursday appointed Dogara Ahmed as the substantive NYSC DG, sidelining Mrs Christy Uba who has been serving in an acting capacity since the sacking of erstwhile DG, Brigadier-General Muhammad Fadah by President Muhammadu Buhari in November over alleged corruption, nepotism and religious bias.
Yoruba Youth Council Faults Appointment Of Another Northerner, Dogara Ahmed As National Youth Service Corps Director-GeneralThe group vowed to order its members and Southwest graduates to boycott NYSC if the new DG is not removed.
CPYY in a statement issued by its President, Aare Rotimi Adebayo, late Thursday, rejected Dogara Ahmed's appointment, questioning why no southerner was deemed fit for the position despite the recent administrative failures of northerners that have held the post. The statement read:"The appointment of another northerner in the person of Brigadier-General Yusha’u Dogara Ahmed as the new Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps , stands condemned. It further exposes lack of federal character, and nepotism in the present administration.
