Court Restrains NYSC From Denying Certificate Issued To Mbah

Post created on 9:49 am

A Federal High Court in Abuja has issued an order restraining the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) from further denying issuing the NYSC certificate being paraded by Enugu Governor, Peter Mbah.

The judgement passed by Justice Inyang Ekwo on Monday held that evidence showed that the governor participated fully in the NYSC programme and was issued a certificate upon completion.

Justice Ekwo held that the NYSC misrepresented facts in its claim that it did not issue the certificate Mbah submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) before the last governorship election.

NYSC was held responsible for not producing the two files containing Mbah’s participation in the programme before the court and NYSC did not handle the case with seriousness.

NYSC was therefore slammed to pay N5 million damages to Governor Mbah.
