NYSC Is Irrelevant, Who Cares About Youth Service? – Presidential Adviser, Itse Sagay On Adeosun
The chairman of Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption says he does not believe that the minister of Finance forged her NYSC exemption certificate.
While speaking on the sidelines of a workshop on the United Kingdom Unexplained Wealth Order (UWO), in Abuja on Thursday, the chairman, Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption (PACAC), Itse Sagay (SAN) commented on the call for the sack of Minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun.
Recall that in recent times, many Nigerians called for President Muhammadu Buhari to sack Adeosun over the allegation that she skipped the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) programme and forged her exemption certificate .
According to The Nation , when asked what he thought about the federal government’s refusal to react to the issue, Sagay said: “I don’t know why the government has not reacted. But, let me tell you my reaction. This woman is a brilliant and extremely valuable member of this government.
“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.
“There is nothing in this world that will make me remove such a woman from the government. The PDP can weep from now until there is no tear in their body; she is going to be there. We cannot afford to lose that woman.”
When asked if it was not an offence to skip NYSC, Prof. Sagay said: “Who cares about youth service? I don’t bloody care whether she did youth service or not. It’s irrelevant as far as I am concerned.”
Speaking further on the allegation that Adeosun forged an NYSC exemption certificate, the PACAC chairman said: “I don’t believe it. I don’t see anything serious about not doing youth service. I don’t see anything serious about it. That’s my own bias, not government’s.
“I’m telling you now. If you ask me – If I were President Buhari, I would never, ever touch that woman because she’s damn good.
“The enemies of this government want to reduce his capacity to provide good governance by engaging in social media attacks and trying to get rid of her. It will not work.”
