She piloted the affairs of the NYSC in an acting capacity for about three months after the sacking of Brigadier-General Muhammad Fadah by the President Buhari.
On September 2022, Fatima Abubakar, NYSC chairman governing board in a letter to Sunday Dare, sports and youth development minister, accused Fadah of corruption, nepotism and religious bias.
