A rights advocacy group, the Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA) has raised the alarm over the status of the new Minister of Art, Culture and Creative Economy, Hannatu Musawa, who it alleged abandoned her mandatory National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) scheme.
In Nigeria, fresh graduates are mandated to serve the nation for one year before seeking employment, but according to the rights group, this was circumvented by President Bola Tinubu by naming Musawa as a minister when she had not rounded up the mandatory service year.
HURIWA, which raised the alarm in a statement on Thursday, alleged that Musawa abandoned her NYSC programme in Ebonyi State but later showed interest in completing it.
