unical reply to NYSC 101 rejected students

The institution clearly states that;

It was the University Management that exposed this criminal act and brought it to the attention of NYSC and other organizations and not the other way around.

1. In September 2023, internal sources were brought to the attention of a certain individual who had not graduated and was on national service purportedly from our institution.
3. We quickly launched an investigation which confirmed the allegation
   and revealed 10 more cases of infiltration of the NYSC portal.
4. Arising from this report, we wrote on 4th October 2023 to NYSC appealing that those 11 persons involved be apprehended and prosecuted.
5. On the 24th of October NYSC responded in line with our resolve to launch a full-scale investigation into the issue.
6. On the 31st of October, the University wrote to the ICPC Uyo Resident Office inviting the agency to wade into the matter.
7. Though management had agreed to work quietly with NYSC and security agencies to apprehend the culprits, we had to set up a full-scale investigative committee due to unfolding events.
8. The committee concluded its work on the
   18th of December, 2023. Meanwhile, NYSC was notified on the 5th of November

However, while commending NYSC for this move, the institution saw it necessary to let the public know the facts about the whole uncanny story of the infiltration of the university portal with unqualified names for exemption from, and participation in, national service.

Attached is the comprehensive memo released by the University of Calabar.
