Former Finance Minister Kemi Adeosun has revealed how she coped after resigning from office following her alleged fake National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) certificate saga.
The former minister had handed in her resignation on September 14, 2018 after the eligibility of her NYSC certificate was called into question.
Adeosun shared her struggles while speaking at the 10th anniversary of the Uncommon Woman Conference which was organised by the Jesus House Church, United Kingdom.
She disclosed that she felt so horrible after the incident that she cried daily for three months.
She said: “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.”
