Despite a slight 2.6% drop in fatalities compared to 2023, the report shows distribution companies (DisCos) remain the primary source of safety lapses, accounting for over 90% of casualties across all quarters. Ibadan, Eko, and Kaduna DisCos recorded the highest number of incidents, while NESCO and Yola DisCos maintained clean safety records in multiple quarters. The Commission said it has launched investigations and concluded three compensation settlements for victims’ families, reaffirming its commitment to safety enforcement within the power sector.

 NYSC revokes 101 fraudulently mobilized UNICAL graduates’ certificate


The National Youth Service Corp says ninety-nine persons, with the exemption of two others, were fraudulently mobilised from the University of Calabar between the 2021 and 2023 service years.


Consequently, the scheme said the Certificates of National Service of the listed 101 persons, have been invalidated while urging members of the public to confirm the authenticity of certificates presented by the National Directorate Headquarters of the NYSC.


This was contained in a statement signed by NYSC’s Director of Information and Public Relations, Eddy Megwa, on Monday.


The Management also restated its commitment to ensure that only qualified persons were issued the Certificates of National Service, while those from unaccredited universities were not.


The statement reads, “This is to inform members of the public that the under-listed Ninety-Nine (99) persons and two (2) others on exemption were fraudulently mobilised by the University of Calabar for National Service during the 2021, 2022 and 2023 NYSC Service Years.


“Management of the National Youth Service Corps hereby restates its strong commitment to ensuring that unqualified locally and foreign-trained Nigerian youths, especially those purported to have graduated from unaccredited universities, are not recognised while only qualified persons are issued with NYSC Certificates of National Service”.


“Arising from the above, the Certificates of National Service of the under-listed persons have been invalidated forthwith by the NYSC Management.


Members of the public, especially Corps Employers, Government Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs), Corporate and Religious Organisations, Multi-National Companies, Corps Producing Institutions and other critical stakeholders of NYSC are to take note of this advertorial for prompt action. In addition, members of the public are also enjoined to confirm from NYSC National Directorate Headquarters in Abuja, the authenticity of Certificates of National Service, Exemption and Exclusion Letters being presented for any purpose”.
