Meanwhile, NAIJ.com had reported that the Civil Society Groups for Good Governance reacted to the ongoing certificate scandal involving the finance minister, Kemi Adeosun.
Adeosun, 51, has in the last few weeks, been a subject of controversy as a report by an online newspaper indicated that her National Youths Service Corps (NYSC) certificate was forged.
The Ogun state-born minister has been silent on the issue, while the federal government has since set up a panel to probe the authenticity of the media report.
