Confusion As Arts Minister, Musawa Denies Statement On NYSC Saga 

The Minister of art, culture, and creative economy, Hannatu Musa Musawa, has denied issuing a statement that she had adhered to the law as a minister while still performing her required one-year national youth service.

The Minister has not authorized any statements, according to a brief statement made by Suleiman Haruna, the Deputy Director of Press at the Federal Ministry of Information and National Orientation.

The statement reads, “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.”
