Commissioning Turns Sour As Angry FCT Minister Suspends FCT Fire Service Boss by Breakingfamous: 11:43pm On Mar 24, 2019
Commissioning Turns Sour as FCT Minister Suspends the director of the FCT Fire Service, Mr Opetunsin over alleged dereliction of duty and perceived incompetence.

The FCT Minister, Mohammed Bello went to commission some Fire Service facilities, vehicles.

Trouble started when the FCT Minister finished commissioning the vehicles and moved to inspect them. To his shock, the ambulance had no air condition facilities and oxygen, while he opened one of the drawers to check for drugs and saw the kit, it was dusty and unkempt.

The visibly unhappy minister then moved to check the fire fighting trucks, when he asked for a brief display, he was once again shocked to be told that there is no water in the tanker.

The minister managed to contend his anger as he read his speech after the inspection.

The minister later decided to inspect the office building complex, it was at this time that issues got more complicated! The minister discovered that log books were not kept by some departments. Upon further inspections, the minister discovered that the 6-flat apartment building made to be used by those on duty were occupied by the 6 top officials of the FCT Fire Service

'It is quite sad that an important and big city like Abuja relies on refurbished & dilapidated equipment.' - Dr. Aminu Gamawa who shared the shocking video said.

Some Nigerians and corruption, tomorrow we wonder why fire will be unquenchable in FCT.

Check very well the suspended henchmen are committed members in churches and mosques.

In other news, every minister will want to show working so that Bubu can retain them ~ eye service.

So he can exercise his own power now to suspend the fire chief? I expect the fire chief to also respond that the minister has no power to suspend him since that is what buhari brothers have been saying whenever they are being queried or suspended. Query should have come from the permanent secretary of the ministry and not the minister who is a ceremonial head in a presidential system of govt.

Civil service has procedures that makes firing a civil servant impossible.He has to follow the process despite this obvious criminality.

He's just a scapegoat; nothing works in Nigeria! The guy will be wondering why his own case is different after settling all the 'settleables '

Really, we need to change how we do things!

The question should be "why commissioned an old ambulance or was the director the person who awarded contract for the purchase of the ambulance and drugs"

This guy has surprisingly been doing good work in the FCT. He responds to emergencies promptly and this is another example of his good leadership. I actually didn’t think much of him at first considering his career background, but when I went to Abj I noticed how much work is being done under his watch.

So many inner roads that were dillapidated were resurfaced overnight, and there is a much better compliance to service by the agencies in FCT. Kudos to the minister, get rid of all the non performing officials!

This is how it ought to be, not all the blame should go to the president, we have representative, ministers, commissioners et al.
Note: I'm not a buhari supporter

This guy has just behaved the way Buhari was in '83 and was expected to do now before he was taught the word "change".

grin grin grin

This reminds me what happened at one of the TCN facilities in Lagos when Fashola came on an inspection tour, the usually very unkempt environment was hastily cleaned up and the district head had earlier on gone to borrow transformers, isolators, breakers and other maintenance spares from different locations and neatly arranged them in their store room, when Fashola finally arrived he was all smiles and nodding his head like agama lizard in acceptance of the organisational expertise of the district.

After he departed they started moving back the gears to their owners and where they belonged and back to square one they returned.

I'm absolutely sure these modafvckers have been provided with funds to stock their stores but some corrupt greedy mofos had diverted the money for personal gains.

This country is such a terrible place, the corruption in the civil service is mind boggling, thieves and crooks all over the place.

"I knew there was no water"? Someone in the inside connived to make this guy a scapegoat because this whole tale is typical of our country. Anyway, the director cast sha, he should have known that the minister is looking for a scapegoat and brought things up to scratch! Besides which minister does not want to be considered in the new cabinet?

The Nigerian factor is always at play.

Tomorrow they will still come and blame Buhari.
