Kemi Adeosun: What EFCC must do to ex-Minister, NYSC DG – Nigerian students

The National Union of Nigerian Students, NANS, has urged the Economic
and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, to arrest and prosecute former
Minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun.

NANS said EFCC should arrest and prosecute Adeosun over the alleged
forgery of her National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, exemption
certificate.

In a statement issued yesterday, the President of the body, Salahudeen
Lukman also called for the arrest of the Director General, DG, of the
NYSC under whom the forged certificate was issued.

The statement reads, "It is highly embarrassing that an agency of
government as exceptional as NYSC could be so lose, 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. Ignorance is not an excuse in the
court of law."
