EXPOSED: Joi Nunieh doesn’t have NYSC certificate, Akpabio tells Reps

According to him, Nunieh did not also possess an exemption letter from the NYSC as an alternative for not serving the nation for one year.

Akpabio said the former NDDC boss was relieved of her appointment when he received a letter from the late Chief of Staff to the President, Abba Kyari that she did not have the requisite qualifications to remain as NDDC’s acting Managing Director.

He explained that he wrote to the NYSC twice and was told twice that she never served and that she did not have the NYSC certificate or exemption letter.

The minister also adduced insubordination as another reason Nunieh was sacked.

The House of Representatives is probing alleged mismanagement of billions of naira in the NDDC.

Akpabio and Nunieh had been engaging in bitter exchange of words in the last few days, with the former NDDC boss accusing him of sexual harassment.
