The Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria has accused the Minister of Art, Culture and Creative Economy, Musawa of serving as a minister while undertaking the one-year mandatory National Youth Service Corps scheme.

In a statement HURIWA
alleged that years back, Musawa
abandoned her NYSC in Ebonyi state but
later showed interest in completing it.

The group claimed that the minister was
mobilised this year and got posted to a law firm in Abuja before her appointment.

The group urged the NYSC to compel
Musawa to focus on either her national
youth service or the ministerial
appointment.

“She was confirmed by the senate without proper screening and sworn in by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as minister of arts

“HURIWA wonders about the kind
of scrutiny being conducted by the
Department of State Services so much so that it wasn’t disclosed that the minister is a youth corper,” the statement added.
