Controversy surrounds minister Hannatu Musawa's dual role as NYSC member and federal minister of arts, culture, and creative economy.
Insights from NYSC sources clarify that while NYSC Act doesn't forbid corps members from ministerial posts, involvement in partisan politics is strictly prohibited.
An anonymous source affirms that the NYSC bye-laws aim to maintain neutrality, focusing on community development. The director of press and public relations, Mr. Eddy Megwa, was unavailable for comment.
Notably, this situation isn't unprecedented; previous instances include Joana Nnazua Kolo's appointment as a commissioner while still a corps member. Yet, Musawa's dual roles spark discussion on practical implementation of NYSC bye-laws.
