Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto, has terminated the employment of Malam Ahmed over alleged involvement in the illegal mobilisation of unqualified students for the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC).
The decision was made during the university’s 176th Governing Council meeting on April 1, 2026, according to a special bulletin released by the institution.
Ahmed, who previously worked in the Registry Department, was found guilty of misconduct related to the unauthorised uploading of names of ineligible candidates for NYSC mobilisation.
