THE Minister of Art, Culture and Creative Economy, Hannatu Musawa has insisted that she did not break any law with regards to the controversy surrounding her National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) certificate, saying that “one day, I will come out with my account”.
The youthful Minister disclosed this on Sunday night when she featured as a guest on Channels Television programme tagged “Politics Today”, monitored by The Townhall.
According to her, “The matter had been adjudicated and one day, I will come out with my account. I have probably done more NYSC than you (referring to the Presenter). I have done at least two NYSCs in my life.
“I think what I owe Nigerians is to say that I didn’t do anything wrong. I didn’t break the law. The NYSC I did and finished. That is the much I can tell you. Everything I did was by the law.
“That was why I also said that one day I would come out with my account of what happened to set the record straight. As of now, I think it is important for me to focus on giving Nigerians the deliverables”, the Minister asserted.
Recall that a Federal High Court, Abuja, presided over by Justice James Omotosho sometime in April this year dismissed the case, citing that the Plaintiffs in the suit filed against her over the NYSC certificate issue lacked the legal standing to bring the matter before the court.
Indeed, the Minister faced barrage of criticisms for failing to provide evidence of her participation in the mandatory NYSC scheme during her screening for confirmation as a Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria by the Senate.
