Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has expressed strong dissatisfaction over the alleged seizure of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) discharge certificate belonging to Ushie Rita Uguamaye, more than a year after she completed her service.

He warned against politicizing institutions like the NYSC, stressing that such
“What manner of impunity is this? Everything should not be subjected to politics. I hope that Ushie Rita Uguamaye’s NYSC discharge certificate is not being withheld because she had the courage to complain about the economic hardship under the President Bola Tinubu-led administration,” Atiku said.
He further described the situation as unacceptable, noting that Uguamaye had served her country without any disciplinary issues and should have rightfully given her Discharge Certificate.
Recall that Ushie Rita Uguamaye, a serving Corp member was earlier suspended over criticism of Tinubu’s harsh economic policies.
