Buhari appoints Fada as new NYSC DG

PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari has approved the appointment of Brigadier General Mohammed Fada as the new Director- General of the National Youth Service Corps ( NYSC).

Fada, who is set to take over from Major General Shuaibu Ibrahim, will resume office today. This was disclosed by a source yesterday to The Guardian in Abuja.

“The new DG is from Yobe State. He was in NYSC on Tuesday and has been briefed by the outgoing DG. After the farewell parade,

Ibrahim will come and hand over and leave. It is good that when you’re leaving, it should be tears of joy and not people jubilating,” the source revealed.

Gen. Ibrahim has been in office since May 2019 when he was appointed as the 18th DG of the NYSC.
