Buhari Appoints Brigadier-General Mohammed Fada As NYSC Director-General

President Muhammadu Buhari has announced the appointment of Brigadier-General Mohammed Fada as the new Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps.

Fada, a retired Brigadier-General from Yobe State, will take over from Major General Shuaibu Ibrahim who spent two tenures.

As contained in the release, made available to newsmen, “After the farewell parade, Major General Ibrahim will come and hand over and leave. It is good that when you’re leaving, it should be tears of joy and instead of people praying, ‘let this stupid go’ and tenure of three years will be like 20 years,” the source said.

Ibrahim, a native of Nasarawa LGA in Nasarawa State, is an Associate Professor of History and War Studies at the Nigerian Defence Academy.

He assumed office in May 2019 and prior to his appointment as the 18th DG of NYSC, he was theRegistrar of the Nigerian Army University, Biu, Borno State.

He has a Bachelor’s degree in History (1989), M.A. in History (1992), also in UNIJOS and PhD in History (2007) at the University of Abuja.
