Confusion As ‘NYSC Minister’ Disowns Statement Of Defence

The minister of Art, Culture and Creative Economy, Barrister Hannatu Musawa has disowned a statement purported to have been issued by her defending her appointment as a minister while serving corps member under the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC scheme.

A statement issued on her behalf by Suleiman Haruna, deputy director in the Federal Ministry of Information and National Orientation rebutted the statement that was issued in the minister’s name that supposedly defended her appointment.

The statement read thus:

The attention of Barrister Hannatu Musa Musawa, Hon. Minister of Art, Culture and Creative Economy, has been drawn to a recently circulating piece titled:

MY PERSONAL STATEMENT ON MY NYSC STATUS AS A SERVING MINISTER. The piece is inaccurately associated with her in relation to the current NYSC discussion.

The Hon. Minister clarifies that she has not released any official statement regarding the aforementioned matter and kindly asks the public to be cautious of unverified information.

“I deeply value and appreciate the support, solidarity, and understanding of Nigerians in these times. For clarity, I wish to state that I have not issued any statement on the current issue.”

GWG.ng reports that the development has put a cloud over the true circumstances of Musawa on the issue given the claim by some that she cannot be a serving member of the NYSC and still be a minister.
