Hannatu Musawa, Minister of Art, Culture, and Creative Economy, has once again refused to address the issue surrounding her National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) certificate scandal.
Musawa, speaking as a guest on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Sunday, emphasized that such discussions will not distract her.
During her screening, Musawa failed to present proof to the Senate that she participated in the obligatory NYSC system, notwithstanding President Bola Tinubu’s recommendation.
Musawa was finally confirmed in 2023, but some people took her to court, saying that she received the appointment without completing the obligatory service as an anomaly.
The case was dismissed in April 2024, when the sitting judge, Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court in Abuja, determined that the plaintiffs lacked locus standi (legal standing) to file the complaint.
Musawa reacted to the drama after one year in office by saying,
“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.”
