IGNORANCE IS NOT AN EXCUSE! Nigerian students want Kemi Adeosun, DG NYSC arrested and prosecuted
The leadership of the National Union of Nigerian Students (NUNS) has called on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to arrest the ex-finance minister, Kemi Adeosun over her forged National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) exemption certificate.
According to DAILYTRUST, NUNS President, Salahudeen A. Lukman, in a statement yesterday, also called for the arrest of the Director General of the NYSC under whom the forged certificate was issued.
“It is highly embarrassing that an agency of government as exceptional as NYSC could be so loose, corrupt and uncoordinated to the extent that her certificate could be sold and forged.
The Federal Government must as a matter of urgency curb all corrupt practices in the scheme. It is our resolve to pursue this matter to the latter to assist Mr President’s anti-corruption fight aimed at creating sanity in the public service.

“While waiting patiently to see EFCC do its work on this subject matter on or before the next seven working days, the union shall not hesitate to employ other legitimate means under law to ensure the alleged forger and her accomplice in NYSC face the wrath of the law. We are all equal before the law, No superiority just as ignorance is not an excuse in court of law,” he said.
WuzupNaija recalls that Adeosun resigned from her post over an allegation of forging her National Youths Service Corps exemption certificate many years after her graduation from the University of East London.
The minister felt that her position is becoming untenable and is hurting the President in the run-up to the 2019 election.
Premium Times had reported that Adeosun forged an exemption certificate many years after her graduation from the University of East London.
It was also alleged in the report that Adeosun’s official credentials show that she parades a purported NYSC exemption certificate, which was issued in September 2009, granting her exemption from the mandatory service on account of age.
