The minister of Art, Culture and Creative Economy, Barr. Hannatu Musawa has declared as untrue viral statement in which she allegedly admitted that she’s currently undergoing one year mandatory National Youth Service Corp (NYSC) scheme.
Truth Live News reports that in a viral media statement earlier, the Minister said she had done nothing wrong in accepting a ministerial appointment while serving as a corp member.
However, debunking the development in a statement signed by the Deputy Director, Press Federal Ministry of Information and National Orientation, the minister said she has not released any official statement regarding the aforementioned matter and asked the public to be cautious of unverified information.
Musawa expressed appreciation to Nigerians for their support, solidarity, and understanding in these times.
The statement reads in part: “The attention of Barrister Hannatu Musa Musawa, Hon. Minister of Art, Culture and Creative Economy, has been drawn to a recently circulating piece titled:
“MY PERSONAL STATEMENT ON MY NYSC STATUS AS A SERVING MINISTER. The piece is inaccurately associated with her in relation to the current NYSC discussion.
“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.
“I deeply value and appreciate the support, solidarity, and understanding of Nigerians in these times. For clarity, I wish to state that I have not issued any statement on the current issue.”
