The Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, has again defied the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Adams Oshiomhole, by refusing to inaugurate the board of the Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund over a month after he promised to do so.

Oshiomhole had on July 23, 2018, threatened to expel Ngige from the party for failing to set up the board over five months after President Muhammadu Buhari ordered all ministers to inaugurate boards of government agencies.

The APC chairman had also alleged that Ngige was intentionally delaying the setting up of the board in order to retain the exclusive powers of awarding contracts from the agency which receives billions of naira monthly.

In a letter, however, Ngige had promised to inaugurate the board of the NSITF before the end of July.

The minister had said the delay was caused by an investigation he ordered into the fraudulent activities of past boards of the NSITF.

Interestingly, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, which also investigated the matter, had concluded its own probe over a year ago.

Eniola Akinkuotu, also learnt that over a month after Ngige’s letter was written, none of the members of the board had been contacted on the date the board would be inaugurated.

Buhari had in January appointed June 12 activist and former General Secretary of the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers, Chief Frank Kokori, as the chairman of the board.

Three board members who spoke to newmen on the strict condition of anonymity, said they had not been contacted, neither had any memo been issued on the intention of setting up the board.

Efforts to speak with Ngige on Sunday proved abortive as he neither picked calls nor responded to a text message.

Attempts to get a reaction from Oshiomhole were also unsuccessful as his media aide, Mr. Simon Egbegbulem, neither picked calls nor responded to a text message sent to him on the issue.

Pot and kettle

How do the jobs of Ngige and Oshiomole relate?

Haha mad people

Shameless Old Fools

2 short devils.

one from the east, the other from the south .
Both of them are ex-governors

Both above 50yrs

non of both can walk freely in their villages due to fear

non can boldly tell the world what their children do for a living
non of them is a technocrate

non of them has a corruption clean sheet.

they are both without shame and honour.
i spit of them

Just like Oshiomole told the poor widow in Edo state, he should "go and die!"

I tire for this Oshiomole matter.
Someone needs to remind him he hold no public office and He should limit his voice to his party Development and downfall..
Yes,He has the right to talk just like every Nigerian but shouldn't go about threatening people like he's the president...anyway..na APC thing.
Being a party chairman automatically make you a office holder in ASO rock...
But he really needs to be cautioned.
I don't give a rat ass about Ngige either.

like ngige ; like oshiomole....y are short people always stubborn?....

Oshiomole is getting closer to his downfall.

Well, there have been a lot of daring this days. I believe Nigerians most hold dear to their PVC during this times as it is their only way out of this very daring situation.

Simply a case of two midgets in the same cage fighting.

You guys will fight till you perish, foolish minister and rat

You guys will fight till you perish, foolish minister and rat jihadist chairman

Especially girls

Short girls

Oya ekuku dog over to you... let's hear another round of barking

Two midgets fighting, we go see who go win.

This issue should be address asap because too many Nigerians are desperately in need of the funds. Let the funds circulate on time so people can invest properly on it and move forward. There's no much suffering in the land & the hardship is telling on most Nigerians.

that shot man should stop disturbing us

Oshimole should dare He back!!

Oshiomole should just show him power

The bearded one daring the juju faced

Lol.

Job for the boys. APC boys need to chop.

They must have taken it as a party thing and must have settled behind doors.

Otherwise egos would be bruised and may not be good for the interest of their party.

In all of their bickerings, wherein lies the interest of the nation?

Very on point. The only difference is that one is highly educated while the other is a primary school certificateless tout
