As the world awaits the explanation of Finance Minister, Kemi Adeosun, over a PREMIUM TIMES exclusive reportthat she skipped Nigeria’s one-year mandatory national youth service scheme and then forged an exemption certificate, this newspaper has decided to release her entire credentials to the public.

We are releasing the documents exactly as she submitted them to President Muhammadu Buhari (before her nomination), the State Security Service (for credential and security scrutiny) and the Senate (for her confirmation hearing).

The documents include copies of her curriculum vitae, her high school GCE results, her university degree and post graduate diploma, her purported NYSC exemption certificate, Income Tax Clearance Certificate for Tax Year 2015 and certificates of membership of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria and the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales.

Of the documents, the only one that has become controversial so far is the NYSC exemption ‘certificate’, which was purportedly issued on September 7, 2009.

This newspaper was able to determine that, based on its enabling law, the NYSC does not issue exemption certificate to anyone who, like the minister, graduates before turning 30. Born on March 9, 1967, Mrs Adeosun graduated July 11, 1989 at 22.

Mrs Adeosun’s ‘certificate’ is dated September 9, 2009, and was purportedly signed by Yusuf Bomoi, a former director-general of the corps.

Officials said Mr. Bomoi stepped down from the NYSC in January 2009, and could not have signed any certificate for the corps eight months after. The retired brigadier general passed on in September 2017.

We investigated Mrs Adeosun’s so-called NYSC certificate for months, determining eventually that it is fake.

“This one is an Oluwole certificate,” a top official of the corps said after we showed him a copy of the document. “We did not issue it and we could not have issued it.” Oluwole is a location in Nigeria’s commercial capital, Lagos, where fraudsters possess an amazing dexterity in the art of forging all kinds of documents.

Several current and former officials of the scheme told this paper that the NYSC would never issue an exemption certificate to anyone who graduated before age 30 and did not fall into the categories of persons exempted by the corps’ enabling Act.

By that law, there are four categories of Nigerians eligible for exemption certificates. The first are those who graduated after turning 30. The second are holders of national honours. The third are persons who served in the armed forces or the police for up to nine months. The last category are staff of intelligence agencies, or the armed forces.

Therefore, having graduated at 22, and with no record of national honours or service in the intelligence or armed forces, Mrs Adeosun is not qualified for exemption, officials said.

Yet, the so-called exemption certificate she holds gave age as the reason for her exemption.

“This is not the size of our exemption certificate,” another top official of the corps remarked when shown a copy of the minister’s ‘certificate’. “The calligraphy is also different”.

On another day, another staff questioned the genuineness of the ‘certificate’ based on the font of the serial number.

“Look at this, look at this other one, the numbering is different,” the staff said while comparing Mrs Adeosun’s certificate with a genuine one on file.

Mrs Adeosun’s name also failed to pop up during multiple checks of the exemption certificates registers kept by the corps, officials said.

One official, who perused the register recently, noted that the sequence of serial numbers for certificates issued in 2009 did not correspond to that in Mrs Adeosun’s purported certificate.

Mrs Adeosun, the NYSC and the presidency are yet to speak on the scandal which is currently the most talked about topic in Nigeria.

Premium Times deserves a pulitzer for this. Kemi needs to resign and be prosecuted if all this true. Buhari should have no issue making her a casuality to war on curruption. I just wonder how this slipped past national assembly during confirmation.

PS: You guys can look go on website for rest of the pictures of this womans resume. There's like 11 other images.

The newspaper is fighting a war they cannot win, this look like an Igbo vs Yoruba war to bring down this woman that replace their daughter Okonjo iweala . I don't think she'll ever be pulled down, Yoruba will get behind their own.

How many northern military generals with millions of naira in pensions for life till they die have even common school cert ?

This woman has a degree but the newspaper is talking of bloody NYSC cert.

Mrs Adeosun’s name also failed to pop up during multiple checks of the exemption certificates registers kept by the corps, officials said.

Government of "Oluwole certificate" Scammers.

Does bubu has his own SSCE certificate ??

This alone sums up our entire narrative, APC and Buhari are scammers, fraudstars.
Seems EFCC, ICPC, sars and the rest of them, has more work to do inside aso rock than they will have to do throughout the country

As at the time kemi graduated from that university she claimed also, it wasn't a university. That is another case unfolding. I still respect people who studied and graduated here in Nigeria, and also earn a living here as well. despite the high standards we operate. This elites send their kids outside to attend a a near secondary school as university and come back to take juicy positions unto returnees from overseas. Imagine someone that u know is super dumb, by the Time they travel and return u hear is first class. for who's pocket...

Only God knows the amount of our tax payers cash she must have used to cover this before a good spirited Nigerian decided to call a spade a spade on this one. This is forgery. a serious crime against the laws of nysc, and the state called Nigeria... This is how we await buhari's reactions. let it not go like that of former sfg or maina.

Yes we will fight for our daughter. It is a must! Everything about Nigeria revolves around ethnicity. Yorubas will not be left behind. The only person I don't give a fvck is that foolis bastard called Fani kayode.
Yoruba first before any other thing.
Fvck Nigeria.
Yoruba stand and support your own.

The Igbo are trying to pulled her down, someone got her degree yet they are talking about NYSC.

NYSC should be scrapped unless people are allowed serve in their region alone. Yoruba should serve only in Yorubaland. Ibos should do same. Same to Hausas.
Stop forcing unity on people. It should not be by force to serve this shytehole.

Wallahi Kemi Adeosun needs to either answer quickly or just resign fast. This is a real embarrassment to her. Imagine a minister of Finance being caught up in this sort of cheap forgery mess

Don't mind them. NYSC should not be mandatory. NYSC was created to forcely unite us. Our unity is a charade. We are not united. You should not post a Yoruba person to serve in Bornu because of one useless phantom unity - especially if that person has not been there before. You risk their lives. Do you know how many people have died because of this useless NYSC?
Fvck it!

Lol corrupt elements on thread already deflecting from issue. The issue is about forging certicate. If you feel NYSC is useless cool dont go looking for a job with the state that requires it. She was confortable in UK making good money why forge?

Almost three days since this story broke no word from Kemi Adeosun or the presidency on what went down. This Buhari govt is the most irresponsible I have ever seen.

The Jonathan who was described as clueless always summoned his ministers whenever such allegations came up and dealt with them squarely.

Buhari and Osinbajo are running a paddy-paddy corruption show and it becomes more obvious with each passing day. Buhari has been known for corruption since he was finance minister and Osinbajo has no integrity otherwise he would resign and save whatever is left of his name

But its by force to be a minister... See them...yeye dey smell

Some pathetic filths are pushing a mischievous narrative, completely discounting the allegation of her forging the exemption certificate.

Certificate forgery is an unforgivable offence in the public service. If this allegation is found to be genuine, Kemi stands to lose every remuneration arising from the benefit of this forgery.

I had a boss who forged his first degree but his Masters and Doctorate degrees were genuine. When it was discovered, he was sacked, and the Uni he got the advanced degrees written to. He lost them all.

Dis gbedu don dey sweet o

Ok

PT has overtaken SR as the number 1 investigative media outlet in naija. What baffles me is the fact that our DSS supposedly did forensic check on her credos and gave her a clean bill of health. It took a Senate committee of ordinary civilians to detect it, and true to type as politicians, they used it to their advantage.
Sad for my country.

Let's watch what Mr Corruption fighter will do about this

The evidence is as clear as Spring water

West and Fraud be like...

trust me, some people will call this a Photoshop

Did you serve? If yes where and when?
Most people against NYSC did not serve and as such speak bad about the scheme.

Impressive

We need more damages...
