Nigeria’s Finance Minister, Kemi Adeosun, did not participate in the mandatory one-year national youth service scheme. Instead, she forged an exemption certificate many years after graduation, can authoritatively report.

The year-long service, organised by the National Youths Service Corps (NYSC), is compulsory for all Nigerians who graduate from universities or equivalent institutions at less than 30 years of age.

In addition to being a requirement for government and private sector jobs in Nigeria, the enabling law prescribes punishment for anyone who absconds from the scheme or forges its certificates.

Eligible Nigerians who skipped the service are liable to be sentenced to 12 months imprisonment and/or N2,000 fine, according to Section 13 of the NYSC law.



Section 13 (3) of the law also prescribes three-year jail term or option of N5,000 fine for anyone who contravenes provision of the law as Mrs Adeosun has done.

Subsection 4 of the same section also criminalises giving false information or illegally obtaining the agency’s certificate. It provides for up to three-year jail term for such offenders.

Mrs Adeosun’s official credentials obtained by show that the minister parades a purported NYSC exemption certificate, which was issued in September 2009, granting her exemption from the mandatory service on account of age.

We all know nothing will happen even if she forged her Degree or Nysc certificate

let's go there

Waiting for the other side of the story

Ha!

She must produce her NYSC certificate with pics she took during her service year.


Someone should get NYSC book of life so that we can check her name and signature on it.


What was her PPA then.?


Kemi, secretly bribe us before we expose you now.

Hope this will not be another crisis of trust for Kemi & the lying government she is part of Oshiomole, Obono-Obla, the UniJos associate Prof.woman & PACAC member caught cheating in a law exam.
The list just keep increasing for this morally corrupt government.

Which of the certificates is forged, NYSC or Academic certificate?

If her oga weh get certificate scandal was ignored, why won't ordinary appointee follow the lead.

Awaiting further development...
