The NYSC saga began when Musawa was sworn in as one of the 45 ministers in President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s cabinet.

Soon after, it came to light that she had not completed her national youth service, despite being mobilized for the scheme back in 2003.

The NYSC management confirmed this revelation, leaving many questioning how a minister could hold such a prestigious position without fulfilling a fundamental requirement of national service.

Surprisingly, amidst the mounting controversies surrounding the issue, the presidency has chosen to remain silent.

This silence has only fueled further speculation and raised questions about the government’s stance on the matter.

The NYSC scheme was established in 1973 with the aim of fostering national unity and integration among Nigerian youths. It requires graduates under the age of 30 to serve their country for one year, typically in a different state from their place of origin.

However, the case of Minister Musawa highlights a glaring loophole in the system. How could someone in such a prominent position overlook a crucial requirement like completing their NYSC service? This raises concerns about the integrity of the selection process for ministers and the overall commitment to upholding the principles of the NYSC scheme.

The public’s reaction to this controversy has been mixed.

Some argue that Musawa’s oversight should not be taken lightly, as it sets a dangerous precedent and undermines the credibility of the NYSC program. Others believe that the issue is being blown out of proportion, arguing that her competence as a minister should be the primary focus.

Nevertheless, the fact remains that Musawa’s incomplete NYSC service cannot be ignored. It is a matter that demands attention and resolution.

The government must address this issue transparently and take appropriate action to ensure that the integrity of the NYSC scheme is upheld.

As the discussions surrounding Minister Musawa’s NYSC saga continue, it is crucial to reflect on the broader implications of this controversy.

The NYSC saga involving Minister Hannatu Musawa has sparked widespread debate and raised important questions about the integrity of the selection process for ministers.
