The spokesperson for the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Eddy Megwa, has said the Minister of Arts and Culture, Hannatu Musawa, is breaking the law by serving as a minister while still undergoing her mandatory one-year youth service.

Megwa confirmed that Musawa has been serving for the past eight months in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

The NYSC spokesman, in a chat with Daily Trust, said, โ€œAccording to the NYSC Act, no corps member can take a government job until they complete the one-year service.โ€

He added that Musawa had initially been assigned to Ebonyi State in 2001 for her youth service but moved to Kaduna State, where she โ€œabsconded and didnโ€™t complete the program.โ€

Similarly, Femi Falana (SAN) said it was a violation of the law for anybody to be still serving in the NYSC and accept a ministerial appointment.

In a statement titled: โ€œA Youth Corps Member is not Competent to be a Minister in Nigeriaโ€, Falana said by virtue of Section 2 of the NYSC Act, every citizen who graduated from any tertiary institution in and outside Nigeria and was not 30 years old shall be mobilised for the one-year compulsory national youth service, while any person above 30 was not eligible to participate in the service.

Also speaking, a legal expert, Abeny Mohammed, in his reaction to the development, said Musawaโ€™s action is a โ€œbreach of the NYSC Act,โ€ which requires completion of the service or an exemption certificate for legal employment.

Mohammed said, โ€œThe situation we have at hand is that this person is still serving as a copper, and she has been appointed a minister. It shows the inconsistency in our policies and disregard for our laws.โ€
