Adeosungate: Finance minister stays off social media

Since the story of her forged NYSC certificate was made public about a month ago, Nigeria’s Finance Minister, Kemi Adeosun, has steered clear of her social media handles.
Investigations revealed that apart from skipping the NYSC scheme, Mrs.
Adeosun also procured a forged National Youth Service Corps (NYSC)) certificate.
Skipping the national service scheme and forging an official document attracts up to four years combine jail sentence.
But since July 7, when the revelation was first published, it has been observed that Mrs.
Adeosun, who used to be very active on Facebook and Twitter posting update of her ministry’s plans, policies and events, has suddenly gone quiet.
An analysis of posts on Facebook shows that from January to June she made an average of seven posts per month; but only made one post in July, which was her last.
Similarly, on Twitter, where the minister had been more prolific posting an average of 41 tweets and retweets a month between January and June, she has not posted nor retweeted any tweet since the story was published.
Her last tweet on the social media site was on June 19.
