Nigeria’s former Finance Minister Kemi Adeosun has revealed how she struggled to heal after the scandal that trailed her alleged fake National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) certificate scandal.
Adeosun tendered her resignation letter on the 14th of September after the whistle blew on the authenticity of the certificate.
She revealed her emotional and mental struggles while speaking at the 10th anniversary of the Uncommon Woman Conference was organised by the Jesus House Church, United Kingdom.
The former Minister said she felt so horrible after the incident that she cried daily for three months.
According to her, “I was so ashamed at that time because I was into teenagers’ mentoring and all of that. So, the experience negated the lessons I had taught my teenagers. I cried every day for three months; I didn’t do anything for anyone or myself for those months. I just cried, cried, and cried.
“I thought I would feel better when I got vindicated by the court but I still wasn’t happy. The court cleared my name three years later but it took another time of counselling and therapy before I felt better.”
