Nigerians have been expressing outrage after, Nigeria's Minister for Finance, Kemi Adeosun, allegedly skipped the mandatory National service (NYSC) and acquired a fake exemption certificate.
The certificate scandal raised so many discussions over the weekend with many of the commentators have asked the Minister ti resign.
The opposing party People's democratic party (PDP) yesterday, called on President Buhari for the immediate sack and arrest of Mrs Adeosun because someone who does not possess an NYSC certificate is not eligible to work in Nigeria.
According to Premium Times, Mrs Adeosun graduated from the Polytechnic of East London, renamed University of East London, in 1989.
She, however, did not return to Nigeria to observe the mandatory year-long service as required for Nigerians who graduate before their 30th birthday. Instead, she secured an exemption certificate which investigations show to be fake.
Most of the respondents called on President Muhammadu Buhari to launch an investigation into the scandal.
Most social media activists are outraged that someone who had not experienced the national service is occupying a high office while a lot of those who went through the process are jobless.
Prominent columnist and activist, Jubrin Ibrahim, tweeted, “Finance Minister Kemi Adeosun skips NYSC, forges certificate SHE SHOULD GO TO JAIL as required by the law”
