 She quit her job because of a controversy over her participation in the National Youth Service Corps program. Now a court has ruled that former Finance Minister Kemi Adeshu did not need an NYC discharge certificate to be appointed a Minister. The Federal High Court in Abuja also said that a certificate isn't needed to stand for any elective office in Nigeria. The court held that Adeshu was already 36 years old and a British citizen when she returned to Nigeria from the United Kingdom. In addition, the court ruled that she only became a Nigerian citizen by virtue of the 1999 constitution when she was 32. Both ages are exempt from mandatory NYSE.
