Shittu, who graduated from the then University of Ife (now Obafemi Awolowo University, OAU) was said to have immediately gone into politics upon graduation.
Although, Shittu(a Lawyer) in his defense claimed serving in the Oyo state House of Assembly, was already a service to his fatherland hence didn’t see the need to participate in the NYSC scheme.
