Enugu — The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has cleared the Chairman of Enugu North Local Government Area, Dr. Herbert Oji, of allegation of forgery of NYSC Certificate of Exemption.
The Corps confirmed that the Certificate of Exemption issued to Dr. Oji in 1995 was genuine as it originated from its office, contrary to allegations that it was forged by the council chairman.
Mr. Eniola Olufunke Ambekemo, a staff of the NYSC, who disclosed this in a statement on oath he made before an Enugu High Court, said though, the form filled by Oji for exemption from youth service could not be traced by the Corps, the "Certificate of Exemption No. 077483 dated 25th January, 1995 in the name of Oji, Herbert Chikezie A." was available at the NYSC Headquarters in Abuja.
"I have searched the records kept in the NYSC Head-quarters since inception of the NYSC scheme but cannot lay hands on the form filled by Herbert Oji in 1995 when he documented in NYSC."
