Minister of Youths and Sports
Development, Solomon Dalung has summoned the Director-General of the National
Youth Service Corps, NYSC, Suleiman Kazaure, over the controversy trailing the
authenticity of the Exemption Certificate tendered by the Minister of Finance,
Kemi Adeosun.
Dalung explained that the summon
was for Kazaure to brief him over the on-going investigation into the
allegation of certificate forgery against the Finance Minister.
Reports broke last week that
Adeosun allegedly skipped the mandatory one year national service and used a
forged certificate to cover for it.
However, Dalung noted that it was
puerile for the Federal Government to speak or act on the allegation without
having a proper grasp of the facts of the matter.
He told reporters in Abuja
yesterday: “Adeosun’s alleged certificate forgery? I just invited the DG of
NYSC. I will listen to him on what exactly is going on the matter.
“Since, the exemption certificate
saga began, I have not been around. So, I am not in the true picture of what is
actually going on. I can’t make a statement yet.
“If NYSC is truly investigating
the matter, the DG will tell me. Only, then can the federal government take a
stand and issue a statement. Since, I have not been briefed, it will be
immature to say anything.”
