His attire attracted attention amongst members of the cabinet who comically made remarks on his special outfit.

The meeting commenced with the rendition of the National anthem about 10:01am and it immediately by opening Muslims prayer by the Minister of State for Power, Works and Housing, Mustapha Shehuri and that of the Christian prayer by the Minister of Sports, Solomon Dalung.

Recall that three weeks ago, Shittu and the immediate past Minister of Women Affairs, Aisha Alhassan, were disqualified from participating in the Oyo and Taraba states governorship primary elections, respectively, under the All Progressives Congress (APC).

While Shittu was disqualified for not taking part in the compulsory one year National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) scheme, Alhassan was disqualified over issues of loyalty to APC. Alhassan had immediately resigned from the cabinet.

Shittu was also said to have failed to present any NYSC exemption certificate to the APC screening committee.

The immediate past Minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun, had also resigned from the cabinet due to fake NYSC exemption certificate presented to get the job.
