NIDCOM lists items allegedly ‘carted away’ by communications minister

By Kayode Oyero

The Nigerians in Diaspora Commission has released a list of items allegedly “carted away” by the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Isa Pantami, after he allegedly ejected workers of the Commission from the fifth floor of Nigerian Communications Commission Complex in Abuja.

The PUNCH reports that the minister and NIDCOM Chairman, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, on Sunday, traded words on Twitter over the forced eviction of NIDCOM staff from the office given to them by the NCC.
Dabiri-Erewa had accused the minister of ordering armed men to chase away her workers from their office.

“In one year, we don’t even have an office. The office we got, given to us by NCC, we were actually driven away by the Honourable Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Mr Isa Pantami. Within two days he drove us out with guns and what happened? The place was given to us by NCC.

“You know we all help each other, NCC as an agency of government, said there is a place you can use to settle in. And just as we settled in, I was in Ethiopia when I got a call. I thought that it was a joke. I came back from Ethiopia on Thursday, this happened on Tuesday, by Friday when I went to the office, guns, armed men had taken over the place,” the former House of Reps member had said.
Pantami, however, counted the accusations describing it as “lies”.

“….The owner of the building @NgComCommission has faulted her lies on their social media platforms. The minister has never given that directive to any gunman. We need to be very objective in reporting. I have never sent any gunmen there, & I have no one,” he wrote.

But the NIDCOM boss then posted a video of the stranded NIDCOM workers who were being addressed to stay calm.
In a statement on Sunday, NIDCOM Head of Media and Public Relations, Abdur-Rahman Balogun, said, “For the avoidance of doubt, the following is the list of some of the items which NiDCOM believes have been carted away:

Never in the history of this failed experiment called nigeria, have we seen this level of incompetence. This is a case of dog eat dog fight. This janjanweed government has taken nigeria 10 steps backwards. Balkanize it now.

And nothing will happen cry babies

Same old people, same story

Personal issues influencing National issues.

This matter should be resolved immediately. It is becoming a national embarrassment.

Not surprised..

That has always been the routine

They should stop washing their dirty linens in the public.

Well...

Intra implosion

With all these office equipment LOCKED UP by Pantani, it means that the Nigeria in Diaspora Commission is currently on LOCKDOWN declared by Pantani.
