NYSC Denies Withholding Corps Member, Raye’s Certificate Over Anti-Tinubu Comments

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has refuted social media claims that Corps Member Ushie Rita Uguamaye, popularly known as “Raye,” was denied her Certificate of National Service due to her criticism of President Bola Tinubu’s administration.

In a statement issued on Sunday, the NYSC described the reports as “false and baseless,” stressing that the delay in releasing Raye’s certificate was strictly procedural.

Raye, with service number LA/24B/8325, gained online attention earlier this year after posting a TikTok video in which she described Lagos as “smelling” and openly criticised the Tinubu-led government. The video triggered backlash and prompted her to publicly apologise.

The controversy drew reactions from notable figures, including former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar and activist Omoyele Sowore, who alleged political victimisation.

However, the NYSC insists that her case is not politically driven and that her certificate will be issued once all standard processes are completed.
