Nafiu stated this in his goodwill message at the 2025 National Identity Day in Abuja and disclosed that NYSC, in its efforts, will ensure a consistently fraud-free mobilisation process.
The NYSC also entered into a partnership with NIMC to integrate the National Identification Number (NIN) into its registration process in 2024, adding that the move had recorded tremendous success.
Delving into details of the partnership, General Nafiu said that the NYSC linked up its database with NIN to ensure that every Prospective Corps Member is unique and verifiable, thus preventing multiple registrations by Prospective Corps Members.
Nafiu further said that the use of NIN had strengthened public trust in the NYSC mobilisation process by ensuring that only qualified Nigerian graduates are mobilised as stipulated by the NYSC Act.
“We have been able to curtail fraudulent enrolment and unqualified graduates from forcing their way into national service.
“The registration process, which was once a herculean process, especially for foreign-trained graduates, is now faster, cleaner, and more reliable”.
