Another minister serving in President Muhammadu Buhari’s cabinet has been found to have skipped the mandatory national youth service scheme, an offence that may see him lose his position and earn him jail term.

The Minister of Communications, Adebayo Shittu, failed to participate in the NYSC scheme despite graduating from the then University of Ife (now Obafemi Awolowo University, OAU) at age 25, Premium Times reports.

However, Shittu insisted that he deliberately skipped NYSC, stating that "The constitution provides for the qualification needed for state assembly members, NYSC is not there.

"I didn’t need it to become a member of the state assembly, and that is already a service."

Dishonesty, lack of integrity catches up with you....I'm shaming for APC

What's all these fuss about NYSC?does oga at the top know what NYSC is? Has any of his children served? You cannot give what you don't have.
This is Nigeria!!!

Na NYSC dey rush us now

So

Unless Davido goes to undertake his primary assignment as a youth corper, I will never advice anybody to waste a good year of their life serving a country that does little/nothing to help or reward your productivity.



What exactly is the point sef?
National integration? Tribalism and national disunity is at its peak. The best thing that happened to NYSC is its exemption certificate.

This happens only in a country where the president lacks certificates..

How did we get to this place please?

Government of Oluwole certificate forgers.From Buhari to the least. Nigeria is just a joke.

Buhari sef no get. So ain't an issue, like baba like children

Another lifeless scandal

Lai Muhammed next hahahahahaha

Worthless NYSC.

I some much like this man

nowadays it's not the crimes and atrocities these thieves commit but how the zombies and wailers defend them. nd when you show them facts they simply ignore and wait for the next thread. apc is corrupt. pdp are thieves. if you must support any stop saying they are saints and have the good of the country or poor man at heart.

just say they'll steal less or are better, more generous thieves.
anyone supporting these crooks wholeheartedly is a fool I dare say...
all of you shouting sai baba how do you defend this? dss and nass passed this one during screening...he saw the Kemi saga and still stayed put. which corruption is Buhari fighting with all these? abegi

Communication Minister, not communicating properly .......... Loads of them left to be fished out .......

and senile bastard took 6 months to appoints these guys

What is happening In this government is baffling
Am happy he appointed them himself so he can't blame nobody.Mr integrity himself
Arrant nansense

What's the purpose of NYSE certificate?




Still don't understand

This is fast becoming a new trend, to think that these ministers went through thorough screening in the senate house, what a country we live in!

Wen we've an illiterate leader, tinz like this re norms

This man never claimed to have done NYSC, so no crime has been committed.


Rather than do NYSC upon finishing Law School, he at that same year proceeded to a political elective post in Oyo State Assembly, which he claimed did not require National Service and has not been disproved.

If the role of Federal Minister requires National Service unlike his former State Assembly role, then how did he pass through the screening?

If state political elective office does not suffice as National Service, then he should resign or be sacked and those who screened him should also be sacked.

Dokpesi, Senator Bala Mohammed, Others Drag Buhari To Court

Everyone's got one or two skeletons in their f*cking cupboards, why make a big deal out of this?

NYSC scandal is rocking a government where the head of the government does not have a degree. How did we even get here in the first place?
Police will not say anything now because the concerned is part of their own, but they were fast to take action on their opposition.
It is well.

nigerians is time to rescreen our ministers under this government

One by one.... i feel the military should carry out operation show your certificate during FEC meeting next week..

So quite a number of these politicians didn't partake in NYSC
This one even gave a reason why
