Legit.ng had reported that the NYSC director of public relations, Adenike Adeyemi, had said the service is working towards verification of Adeosun’s certificate.

Adeyemi attributed the delay to the need by the organisation to “get a little more time to get the records straight.”

This was in reaction to report circulating in the media that the minister of finance failed to undertake the mandatory one year national service after her graduation. It was learnt that she fraudulently obtained an exemption certificate at 42, in violation of the NYSC establishment act, Decree No 24 of 1973 as amended.

In reaction to the report, the presidency had said it was yet to be briefed about the alleged forgery of NYSC discharge certificate by Adeosun.
