Nigeria’s minister of communications and a governorship aspirant of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State, Barrister Adebayo Shittu has said that he is ready to embark on the mandatory National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) after he completes his tenure.
Said he: “it will be a pleasant thing (for me) to go (and serve the nation in the NYSC) after I have been governor by the grace of God.”
The minister who spoke in an exclusive interview with popular Ibadan-based broadcast journalist, Edmund Obilo, on his programme ‘State Affairs,’ said that he did not serve in the NYSC because he was elected a lawmaker after graduating from the university.
He said however that court “will have to decide whether serving in the house of assembly and being minister is not superior and does not replace service in the NYSC.”
