Ex-nema Spokesman Sacked Over Okonjo-iweala Article by Valentinooo: 1:56am On Oct 10, 2013
The Federal Government has fired a former Public Relations Officer of the National Emergency Management Agency, Mr. Yushau Shuaib, in connection with an article he wrote that was considered critical of the Finance Minister, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala.

In the letter communicating Shuaib’s removal from service, the government also referred to him as Assistant Chief Information Officer even though he was promoted Chief Information Officer with effect from January 1, 2012, suggesting that he might have been demoted as well.

The former NEMA spokesperson was sacked for writing an article, published by an online news medium, PREMIUM TIMES, alleging that some appointments by Okonjo-Iweala were lopsided.

The article titled ‘Still on Okonjo-Iweala over Controversial Appointments’, published on March 6, also called on the minister “to ensure that appointments into important positions should be done in credible and transparent manner that can withstand public scrutiny.”

Shuaib was initially transferred to the Ministry of Information after the minister had called him on the telephone to tongue-lash him for having the effrontery to criticize her method of making important appointments.

His transfer was said to have followed a complaint by Okonjo-Iweala to Minister of Information, Labaran Maku, on Shuaib article, and a demand that the civil servant be disciplined.

Its wrong for a civil servant to publicly accuse, abuse or counter the same govt. He/she is serving. He might be right but the condition or environment does not condone such effrontery, not even in Western world.

Loyalty to your Employer is key. What a great disservice he must have done by criticizing the same people he works under.By now he would never undervalue the power of a moniker/pseudonym when writing an article for public consumption. Or he could have waited till he finishes his tenure and start the criticism like FFK!!!

I read the said article and the guy really messed up by accusing Madam Iweala of running a biafran agenda. You don't make such public accusations while still in office and expect to be pampered.

I don't support his outright dismissal, but at least it will serve as a lesson to the upcoming kids that you don't just pull up false allegations from y'all asses and lie against the same govt that employed you without evidences to back it up

Good riddance to bad rubbish
