THE management of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has confirmed that the Minister of Art, Culture, and Creative Economy, Hannatu Musawa, is a serving corps member.
The NYSC Director, Press and Public Relations, Eddy Megwa, made this known yesterday.
“Yes she is a serving corp member,” Megwa told TheCable, a digital media outfit.
He explained that it was against the NYSC Act for any corps member to pick up any government appointment until the one-year service was over.
He said Musawa was originally mobilised in 2001 for the youth service to Ebonyi State where she had her orientation programme but later relocated to Kaduna State to continue the programme.
He said it was when she got to Kaduna that she absconded and didn’t complete the programme.
Megwa noted that the scheme would look into the issue and take action where necessary.
