Finance Minister, Mrs Kemi Adeosun, has resigned as a member of the Federal Executive Council (FEC).
Freedom Online learned that her resignation is not unconnected with the controversy surrounding her National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) exception certificate.
The presidency is yet to react to her resignation.
She was appointed by President Muhammadu Buhari in November, 2015.
Before her appointment, Adeosun worked as Accounting Assistant at the British Telecom Company, London from 1989 to 1990 and Senior Audit Officer at Goodman Jones, London from 1996 to 2000.
Adeosun holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Economics from the University of East London and a Postgraduate Diploma in Public Financial Management from the University of London.
She was also a Commissioner for Finance in Ogun State between 2011 and 2015.
