ADEOSUN'S CERTIFICATE SCANDAL INVESTIGATION STILL ONGOING. PRESIDENCY

The Nigerian government on Monday said that the case of the alleged certificate forgery of the Minister of Finance Kemi Adeosun would soon be proven as untrue soon as investigations are done

This is coming 60 days after Adeosun was alleged to have forged a National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) certificate after an investigation by an online newspaper, Premium Times.

The presidency noted that it will take the appropriate action immediately details of the investigations are made public.

“The minister of information has spoken on the matter. And a process is ongoing to address the allegations. When that process is complete, Nigerians will know the outcome,” said senior special assistant on media and publicity to the President Buhari, Garba Shehu, on AIT’s Kaakaki.

“It’s an allegation. If it is proven, you will see what will happen. The minister and the NYSC have spoken on the matter.”

When challenged on the length of time the ‘investigation’ was taking, Shehu said: “It is not for me to decide (the duration). I don’t have the full facts of the matter, so why the investigation is not out, I don’t know. I hope there will be an early outcome.
