Nigeria’s Finance Minister, Kemi Adeosun, has reportedly resigned, DailyTrust reports.
It is not clear when she submitted her resignation letter. A source
within the presidency who spoke with the national daily, said the
resignation followed the NYSC certificate forgery scandal she had been
enmeshed in. Recall that in July, Premiumtimes had reported that she
never partook in the mandatory One year NYSC scheme, a prerequisite to
picking any job in the federal service.
The source in the presidency said Adeosun felt that her position is
becoming untenable and is hurting the President in the run up to the
2019 election.Till date, she has not come out to deny the NYSC certificate forgery allegation.
