This airk air misbehavior is getting out of hand o or is it because they are the largest indigenous carrier they are misbehaving to the extent of causing the country national embarrassment, they should be fined and warned to behave professionally or seize their license

idupaul:
Is it not clear that this chief of staff is in charge of the country now ? If not how would chief of staff summon a serving minister and the head of an organization who in no way report to him

ImperialYoruba:


Please go and take a seat in one corner, you lack literacy of the chain of command and heirarchy in a presidency.

Anyone that did not take oath of office is an appendix and is not included in chain of command of a presidency. Chief of Staff is an aide, not a cabinet minister. He does not manage any budget on national scale and therefore has no power. His area of responsibility is confined to managing other staffs binded by protocols for efficient operations of the presidency.

Presidency in this case referring to the government unit immediately attached to the seal of office.

In short, if this were a corporation this chief of staff would be the executive secretary attached to the CEO.

Take a screen shot of this lesson and save yourself from repeating this error in future.

Symphony007:
After passing through lagos airport and hearing of the multiple delays and lousy treatment arik passengers have been subjected to, chief of staff to the president, Abba kyari summoned the MD of Arik air and gave him a dress down for his companie's unproffesional conduct.

ImperialYoruba:


I dont dispute that. My response was directed at the misplaced belief that CoS has power outside Aso Rock.

azimibraun:
Half the story will never be told... Rumour thrives in Nigeria more than any other commodity. people just respond positively to. Every negative that hits the internet. I read this like any of one of you n these are my reaction.

1. A dress down? Picture showing dress down and not a video?

2. Chief of staff...Summon who? Again these two came to my mind. Delegated legislation/Transfer of authority and Timing. Could it be that the COS is acting on the express orders of the President; because of the urgency of the matter at hand? I like to think things through before coming up with a position. We all can do same.
