The management of the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC has warned the general public to disregard a fake advertisement making the rounds on Social media with the caption, “NYSC Trust Fund (NYSCTF) 2023: Boost Your Business Dreams.”
This is contained in a statement issued by the Director, of Public Relations of the NYSC, Mr. Eddy Megwa, and made available to journalists in Abuja, Nigeria.
It said; “The management wishes to state emphatically that the advertisement is not from the National Youth Service Corps. It is the handiwork of fraudsters bent on defrauding unsuspecting Nigerians, particularly serving and ex-Corps Members of their resources.”
“The NYSC Trust Fund is still awaiting Mr President’s assent. Therefore the existence of an NYSC Portal and link to register for the fund is only a ruse. When the Trust Fund is passed into Law, modalities to access the fund shall be officially made known to Nigerians through the print and electronic media as well as NYSC official handles in social media, among others,” the statement reads
The NYSC therefore appealed to the general public not to fall prey to the activities of fraudsters.
