NYSC Certificate Forgery: Court Judgment Vindicates Me, Nigerians In Diaspora – Kemi Adeosun

Former Minister of Finance, Mrs Kemi Adeosun, has said that the Wednesday court decision that ruled that she was not bound to have partaken in the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), scheme was a vindication for her and other Nigerians in the diaspora.

In a statement issued in Abuja, Mrs Kemi Adeosun said: “My lawyers have informed me of the judgment by the Federal High Court, Abuja, in the case of Folakemi Adeosun v The Attorney General of the Federation.

“The court, presided over by Honourable Justice Taiwo Taiwo, ruled that the constitution does not require me to present my first-degree certificate or any other certificate, including the NYSC certificate, to be appointed a Minister.

“More importantly, he also ruled that I was not eligible to perform NYSC by virtue of the constitution. This is the position I have always maintained and am happy for this official clarification.

“The ruling vindicates me after a very traumatic spell. It is, however, not only a personal victory; it’s also a victory for many Nigerians in the Diaspora under similar conditions who are desirous to serve their country,” Mrs Kemi Adeosun said.

“I wish to thank God, my family, friends, my counsel, Chief Wole Olanipekun (SAN) and numerous well-wishers for their love, care and concern throughout this difficult period, which has lasted three whole years.

“I wish to add in light of the court’s ruling, I will at the appropriate time and without hesitation, take all further steps necessary within the law to protect my reputation,” Kemi Adeosun said.
