I didn’t do anything wrong – Tinubu’s Minister, Musawa on NYSC certificate saga
The Minister of Art, Culture and Creative Economy, Hannatu Musawa, has again refused to clear up the controversy surrounding her National Youth Service Corp, NYSC, certificate scandal.
Speaking as a guest on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Sunday, Musawa insisted she won’t be distracted by such discussion.
The minister failed to provide the Senate with evidence that she participated in the mandatory NYSC scheme during her screening after President Bola Tinubu sent her name for confirmation.
Musawa was eventually confirmed in 2023, but some persons dragged her to court, claiming she got the appointment without completing the mandatory service as an aberration.
The case was thrown out in April 2024, with the presiding judge, Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court in Abuja, ruling that the plaintiffs lacked locus standi (legal right) to institute the suit.
Reacting to the drama after one year in office, Musawa said, “I don’t know what you have heard.
“There have been so many different accounts of that particular situation.
“The fact that I am sitting here means that I didn’t do anything wrong.
“But I have not come out to set the record straight as to what happened. Social media has just run rife with different accounts.
“The matter has been adjudicated and one day, I will come out with my account. I have probably done more NYSC than you (presenter). I have done at least two NYSCs in my life.”
