The National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, has said that a former Aviation Minister and Senator representing Anambra North, Stella Oduah does not have an NYSC certificate.
In a reply to the request by the Concerned Anambra North Peoples Democratic Party Stakeholders, seeking to validate the claim by the Senator that she lost her NYSC certificate while in transit.
The Director-General of the service said that even though Oduah was mobilised for national service in 1982/83 service year and was deployed to Lagos State, she absconded after the orientation and never completed the service.
The NYSC has by the letter confirmed that Oduah served as minister in breach of the nation’s extant law barring anyone who fails to do the national service after acquiring the necessary educational level should not be employed by the government and should also not be allowed to hold public offices.
