Minister Musawa Defends Her Appointment Despite NYSC Concerns
Minister of Art, Culture, and Creative Economy, Hannatu Musa Musawa, has spoken out about concerns surrounding her ministerial appointment while still undergoing the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC).
In an interview on Sunday Politics with Channels Television, Musawa insisted that she did not break any laws by accepting the role.
She explained that she has already completed two years of national service and followed all legal requirements.
“There’s been a lot of talk about the situation, but I did nothing wrong,” she said. “I finished my NYSC and followed the rules.”
Musawa also mentioned that although the matter has caused public discussion, she will provide full details in the future.
The minister was appointed in August 2023, while still serving as a corps member, and no questions about her NYSC status were raised during her Senate screening.
It was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has reacted to the recent abduction incident in Oyo State.
It can be recalled that schools were attacked by armed men, with some teachers and students reportedly taken. Some people were also killed during the attack.
CAN cried out on behalf of the public, stating “It is intolerable, disgraceful and utterly unacceptable that Nigerian children can no longer sit safely in classrooms without the fear of being kidnapped by armed gangs.”
The organisation also stated that Nigerians are tired of constantly mourning and questioning when something will finally be done to stop the violence.
The Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, has revealed that seven teachers were abducted following a recent attack on a school in the state.
It was also shared that the number of students taken is still being investigated.
The governor further revealed that some people were killed during the attack and abduction.
He also added “With the pressure on the terrorists and the bandits in the North-West, they will keep moving southward.”
“When you have pressure in one place, we must be prepared on this side to either repel or neutralise any terrorists fleeing the pressure points.”
