THE Minister of Art, Culture and Creative Economy, Hannatu Musawa, has disowned a statement purportedly released by her in relation to the controversy surrounding her National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) status.
A section of the media had yesterday published a statement purportedly issued by Musawa, saying she had not broken any law by holding a ministerial position and undergoing the national service simultaneously.
However, in a statement by the Deputy Director, Press at the Federal Ministry of Information and National Orientation, Suleiman Haruna, Musawa said the published statement did not emanate from her and, therefore, dissociated herself from the contents of the statement.
“The attention of Barrister Hannatu Musa Musawa, The Minister of Art, Culture and Creative Economy, has been drawn to a recently circulating piece…The piece is inaccurately associated with her in relation to the current NYSC discussion,” Mr Haruna said.
“The Hon. Minister clarifies that she has not released any official statement regarding the aforementioned matter and kindly asks the public to be cautious of unverified information.”
The minister added: “For clarity, I wish to state that I have not issued any statement on the current issue.”
