Hannatu Musawa, the Minister of Art, Culture and Creative Economy, has continued to dodge clearing up the noise around her National Youth Service Corp, NYSC, certificate scandal.
Musawa stated that she won’t be distracted by such discussion while speaking as a guest on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Sunday.
“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,” she reacted.
Recall that the Minister refused to present her NYSC certificate during her screening after President Bola Tinubu sent her name for confirmation.
She was later dragged to court by some individuals on that stand that 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.
