Resignation: Buhari thanks Kemi Adeosun

President Muhammadu Buhari has thanked the immediate past minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun for her service to the country.

Adeosun resigned on Friday as exclusively reported by Daily Trust. The resignation followed the allegation of not serving the compulsory National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, and obtaining a certificate that the NYSC have disowned.

The minister felt that her position is becoming untenable and is hurting the President in the run up to the 2019 election.

Presidential spokesperson, Femi Adesina in a statement said Buhari thanked Adeosun for her services to the nation.

“President Muhammadu Buhari Friday accepted the resignation of the Hon. Minister of Finance, Mrs Kemi Adeosun. The President thanked the Minister for her services to the nation and wished her well in her future pursuits,” he said.

He added that the President also approved that the Minister of State Budget and National Planning, Mrs Zainab Ahmed, should oversee the Ministry of Finance.
