President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the appointment of Brig. Gen. Y. D. Ahmed as the Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps.
He will be officially taking over on Monday from Christy Uba who piloted the affairs of the NYSC for about three months.
Uba, the most senior director, was appointed by the Presidency following the sacking of Brig. Gen. Mohammed Fadah over alleged incompetence and poor performance.
She made history as the first woman to be appointed to NYSC since its establishment about 50 years ago.
