The NYSC in a statement issued on Saturday by its Director, Press and Public Relations, Eddy Megwa, said that there had been an advertisement with the caption, “NYSC Trust Fund (NYSCTF) 2023: Boost Your Business Dreams.”

The management of National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has described as fake, the advertisement of the launch of the NYSC Trust Fund (NYSCTF) portal and registration link for serving and ex-corps members.

The NYSC in a statement issued on Saturday by its Director, Press and Public Relations, Eddy Megwa, said that there had been an advertisement with the caption, “NYSC Trust Fund (NYSCTF) 2023: Boost Your Business Dreams.”

The Scheme in the statement said, “The attention of NYSC Management has been drawn to the above fake advertisement making the rounds, especially on social media.

“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 the social media, among others. Please, do not fall prey to fraudsters.”
