In a recent development that has sparked widespread attention, Nigeria’s Minister of Art, Hannatu Musawa, finds herself embroiled in controversy over her National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) certificate. The situation came to light when the Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA) raised concerns about the authenticity of Musawa’s NYSC certificate, alleging its absence.
However, the issue took a new turn as the NYSC Management confirmed on Thursday that Minister Hannatu Musawa is, in fact, a serving corps member. The Director of Press and Public Relations at NYSC stated in an interview with The Cable that the minister is currently fulfilling her national service obligations, thereby dispelling the doubts cast upon her certificate status.
Hannatu Musawa, who was among the 45 ministers inaugurated by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu after Senate confirmation, has been a notable figure in the art and cultural sphere. Her appointment was seen as a testament to her dedication and expertise in promoting the country’s rich artistic heritage.

The controversy surrounding her NYSC certificate, however, has sparked a debate about the importance of adherence to national service regulations. The NYSC scheme was established with the intention of fostering national unity and development through the active involvement of Nigerian graduates in community development projects and other nation-building activities.
While the initial alarm raised by HURIWA brought the matter to the forefront, the subsequent confirmation from the NYSC Management has quelled some of the doubts. Nevertheless, this incident underscores the significance of thorough background checks and transparent documentation for public officials, especially those holding ministerial positions.
