Recall that the Minister on Sunday, during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today stated that she did not break any laws regarding the matter.

In the interview, the minister had said, “The matter has been adjudicated and one day, I will come out with my account. I have probably done more NYSC than you (presenter). I have done at least two NYSCs in my life.

“I think what I owe Nigerians is to say that I didn’t do anything wrong. I didn’t break the law. The NYSC I did and finished. That is the much I can tell you. Everything I did was by the law.”

However, in a statement signed by HURIWA’s National Coordinator, Emmanuel Onwubiko, the organisation disagreed with the minister, adding that she violated the NYSC bye-law by picking up ministerial appointments even as a corps member.

Owerri Residents Express Concern Over Delayed Control Post Flyover Construction Residents of Owerri, the bustling capital of Imo State, have voiced their frustration over the sluggish pace of construction at the control post flyover project, urging both the State Government and the construction company to expedite the process. The ongoing construction work at the control post, a critical artery linking the city to neighboring areas, has caused significant disruption to daily commuting, forcing motorists to seek alternative routes. The blockage of this key road has not only created severe traffic congestion but also hindered access to alternative routes, leaving commuters grappling with prolonged travel times and logistical challenges. Christian Chukwuemeka, a commercial driver, bemoaned the drastic increase in travel time from nearby cities like Port Harcourt and Onitsha to Owerri. He emphasized the urgent need for accelerated construction efforts to alleviate the burden on motorists and restore efficient transportation routes. Elder Patrick Ejikeme, a retired civil servant from the Ministry of Works, echoed these sentiments, acknowledging the potential benefits of the flyover project in easing traffic congestion upon completion. However, he expressed concern over the slow progress of work at the construction site, urging the construction company to demonstrate greater dedication to expedite the project. Businesses operating in the vicinity of the construction site have also been adversely affected, experiencing a decline in patronage due to restricted access and diminished foot traffic. Filling stations and shops alike have joined the chorus of voices calling for swifter completion of the project to restore normalcy and stimulate economic activity in the area. Furthermore, travelers have been inconvenienced by the road closure, resorting to lengthy walks to reach alternative transportation hubs, compounding the challenges faced by residents and commuters alike. As the construction delays persist, residents emphasize the pressing need for collaborative action between the government and the construction company to prioritize the timely completion of the control post flyover, thereby mitigating the adverse impact on livelihoods and facilitating smoother traffic flow in Owerri.

The group asserted that NYSC confirmed that she was a corps member as at the time of the appointment.

Onwubiko blamed both President Bola Tinubu and the NYSC for allowing the apparent violations of the NYSC bye-law “only because the minister is from a prominent political family and given that she worked vigorously to campaign for Tinubu.”

It also pointed out that under the same NYSC’S bye-law, some corps members from poor homes who wore trousers as part of their uniforms, were sanctioned even as one of the embattled corps members contested her punishment in the competent court of law.

Highlighting the impact of President Tinubu’s policies, Mbah said, “The bold initiatives from Mr. President have increased funds for subnational governments.

On the benefits of APC membership, he added, “Through connecting to the centre, we’ve seen major projects approved, including the concession of Enugu International Airport, the railway extension from Aba, the South East Development Commission, and the high-pressure gas pipeline to unlock Enugu’s energy potential.”
