Sacked NYSC DG Fadah must deal with the repercussions – CCF

The Concerned Citizens Forum (CCF), a pressure organization, has stated that Brig-Gen MK Fadah, the recently fired director-general of the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, must bear the repercussions of his alleged wrongdoings while in office.

The organization claims that the former DG needs to receive severe punishment after being “disgraced and sacked” by President Muhammadu Buhari last week.

The organization thinks that punishing Fadah appropriately would serve as a warning to other people in elected office.

It stated that Fadah was required to refund all wages received while serving as the NYSC DG as well as his income from the Nigerian Army.

The group’s National President/Convener, Musa M. Attah, stated in a news conference in Abuja that the Brigadier General was not only unqualified for the position, but also showed egregious ineptitude during his first six months in command.

As a result, the organization praised a report by the Yobe Elders Forum that sought to clear Fadah of any misconduct.

“We find it astonishing that the organization [Yobe Elders Forum] is suggesting that individuals colluded against him to have him thrown out of government, rather than setting up legal representation to help the disgraced general lower whatever penalty may come his way from a potential trial in court,” Attah added.

We demand that Gen. MK Fadah be forced to repay all wages and benefits received while serving as the director general of the NYSC.

We additionally demand that Fadah, who turned 60 at the time and was born in October 1960, refund any salary and emoluments he has earned from the Nigerian Army since October 2020.

The organization also demanded that the Nigerian Army immediately lower Fadah’s rank to one that is more in line with his real capabilities and remuneration.
