What is the point of the Nigerian NYSC scheme when it is apparently not required for a ministerial position as per the Nigerian constitution? 

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) scheme is a compulsory requirement for every Nigerian that graduates from university. It is basically a requirement for employment. A while ago, the former Finance Minister appointed by President Buhari had too step down because of a lack of an authentic NYSC certificate. She took it to court and recently won the case. The court stated that a Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is not required to do NYSC to be appointed. Does this make sense at all?
