| Peter Mbah. |
Justice Nyang Ekwo of the Federal High Court in Abuja has confirmed the authenticity of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) certificate of Governor Peter Mba of Enugu State as validly issued by the corps.
Delivering
judgment on Monday, Justice Ekwo held that the evidence before the court showed
that the governor though was mobilized for service in 2001, completed it in
2003.
According
to the court, Mbah midway into his service, sought and after receiving
permission from NYSC to attend the Nigeria Law School, was reinstated into the
NYSC in 2003.
Justice
Ekwo also pointed out that while the evidence that Mbah served in the law firm
of one Udeh was not challenged by the NYSC, he berated the corps for not
charging the governor for forgery if they actually believed that they didn’t
issue the said NYSC certificate to him.
He
concluded that the NYSC was mischievous and acted in bad faith by denying
Mbah’s NYSC certificate.
The
court which found the Director General and the NYSC guilty of misrepresentation
of material facts, subsequently awarded the sum of N5 million damages against
them.
