The new Minister of Art, Culture and Creative Economy, Hannatu Musawa, has said that she is still a serving corps member following the call for her removal over her active status in the scheme.

Adekunle SulaimonThe new Minister of Arts, Culture and Creative Economy, Hannatu Musawa, has said that she is a corps member following the call for her removal over her active status in the scheme.

She said, “It is true I am currently a corps member which I began eight months ago as a matter of duty and devotion to my country, having been unable to complete the scheme since I was first mobilised in 2001. While alluding to the constitution and the NYSC Act, the minister said, “No part of any of them states that a serving corps member can not be appointed by the President of Nigeria or any other appointing authority into political positions.

Speaking about the delay in her NYSC programme, Musawa said, “I started the mandatory national service as a corps member deployed to Akwa-Ibom State in 2001 upon the completion of my university education. I could not complete the service the same year after my redeployment to Kaduna State due to family obligations.
