After pussyfooting
for 69 days, the former Minister of Finance, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun, finally did the
needful by resigning her commission on Friday, September 14. She was
accused of parading fake National Youths Service Corps (NYSC) exemption
certificate with which she secured employments contrary to the country’s extant
laws.
*Buhari and Adeosun |
NYSC which was set up by the General Yakubu Gowon administration
on May 22, 1973 as a tool for re-building the nation and reconciliation after
the civil war and backed up by decree No. 24 makes it an offence for any
Nigerian who graduated before the age of 30 not to serve.
