The President Muhammadu Buhari administration may have concluded on Finance Minister Kemi Adeosun’s alleged National Youth Service Corps certificate forgery.

In a report, July 7, Premium Times had alleged that Adeosun skipped the mandatory NYSC but presented a certificate of exemption.

According to the NYSC law, exemption certificates are issued to Nigerians who finished from polytechnics and universities (both in Nigeria and outside), below the age of thirty.

However, the minister, at the time she graduated, did not fall under this group of persons.

And it’s been 50 days since the allegation with neither Adeosun nor the Buhari administration saying anything tangible on the matter.

Although the NYSC is investigating the forgery claims, the Federal Government had noted it would not make further comments on the matter until the probe is concluded.

Concise News gathered that the Minister had over time ignored attempts by the media to reach her on the issue, sparking rumors that she has the backing of Buhari.

Adeosun Too Good To Be “Touch[ed]”?

It appears that the Buhari administration does not want Adeosun to be touched.

The Buhari administration believes that she had done a great job in resetting the economy, notably bringing the country out of recession.

This might not be far from what the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption (PACAC) Chairman Itse Sagay (SAN) had recently said.

“This woman [Adeosun] is a brilliant and extremely valuable member of this government,” Sagay had said.

“A lot of the good things happening now – the welfare that Nigerians are enjoying and are going to enjoy, because it takes time, and the way our economy is booming, how we got out of recession – are due to her expertise, her commitment, her sacrifice.”

He added that “If I were President Buhari, I would never, ever touch that woman because she’s damn good.”

Buhari Plotting Pardon For Minister

To make the allegations die down and save face, the Federal Government plans on giving the minister a pardon, Guardian Nigeria quoted sources close to her as saying.

Furthermore, Adeosun is said to be ignoring calls for her to speak on the allegation so it can die off naturally.

The approach, against her simple and easy-going nature, is said, according to her minders’ position, to make her look unbothered by the weighty allegation.

Legal Battle Rages

The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) had sued the Director-General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) Brigadier-General Sule Kazaure over the development.

SERAP noted that it is seeking “an order for leave to apply for judicial review and an order of mandamus directing and/or compelling General Kazaure and the NYSC to urgently provide specific documents and information on Mrs Kemi Adeosun’s application to the NYSC for Exemption and to publish widely including on a dedicated and on the NYSC website, any such information.”

MYND44, Lala

I Think Madam Adeosun case has been thrown into the River Niger and 3rd Mainland Ocean..

Bubu government does not have the credentials and moral right to investigate or say anything about a case of forgery else he himself will have to reproduce that thing he presented as certificate for forensic scrutiny.

So the best thing for him to do is keep mum and pretend to be deaf and dump in the matter. Such is the mess we are in.

Most corrupt govt in our history

Corruption galore everywhere


Bribery and nepotism rocking the administration like a boat ..... What a country

Just imagine! Executive corruption is a hallmark of this useless governments.

I never expected a certificateless man to act on a case of an aide who forged a certificate so, I ain't surprised that this case has been swept under the carpet.
