Yet his people are online glorifying him as a man of integrity for resigning, meanwhile if it was another person from a different place we know how they would play the music. All this one sided judgment doesn't make them fit

BeardedMeat:
This might not be mere incompetence, it could be a clear case of bribery and corruption within the verification chain.
Nothing more to add.

malali:

This has happened multiple times. There needs to be an oversight in place to prevent further occurrences. We are always appointing people without due qualification

BeardedMeat:
It's very disturbing and very shameful indeed. Just look at the chain of verification as you call them.
Verification time must be a very lucrative moment for the verifiers.

Resignation should not be enough, man must be prosecuted and made to return every Kobo he has received in salaries and estacode. This should be the way forward.
We joke with everything in this country.

Malali #1 is the job of the National Assembly. They failed to do their job. Also, DSS does independent verification to issue security clearance. So both the legislative and executive arms of government failed.

#2 is not necessary. It’s a waste of taxpayer money to constitute a body that will do what National Assembly and DSS can already do. Taxpayers pay more when new agencies and bodies are created, which increases the cost of governance.

malali:
I agree, there was a clear failure by both the National Assembly and the DSS to verify that this man is who he claims to be.

At this rate, it seems for all they care, President Tinubu could appoint the head of Boko Haram or an IPOB militant into his cabinet, as long as the credentials are forged correctly.

This isn’t just negligence; it’s a systemic breakdown in vetting that puts the nation’s security at risk.

givedemwotowoto:
Yeah the entire system failed! I think they were in a hurry and simply trusted the nominees especially if they were issued security clearances. Those huge committee budgets ended up in their private pockets, same with the security agencies. Even EFCC and ICC review financial declarations as well and should’ve checked for forgeries on nominee documents. The whole system failed.

malali:
He should be arrested and made to face the law. Because he swore oaths knowing fully well they were not true and he was just a dud. He should be held accountable for sitting in on national security issues without due qualifications and lying his way there. There should be consequences.

lionshare:
In my opinion, the responsibility ultimately lies with the DSS and security agencies, as other parties, including the presidency and National Assembly, depend heavily on their outputs. What is the purpose of security clearance if it does not verify employment, education, or prior experience claims? At the core of this issue is our collective and individual disregard for accountability, which I believe encourages people to exploit the system. matter.

givedemwotowoto:
The National Assembly has committees that do these things. They have fully functional offices with huge budgets and staff. Where do you think committee budgets go to? They can get any information they want. There are budgets for these things, so there’s no excuse.

lionshare:
Regarding security clearance, the key authority lies with the security agencies, not the National Assembly. After all, who would you expect to be more thorough in these matters: politicians, who may not return after an election, or career security agents responsible for managing and protecting information with national security implications?

givedemwotowoto:
Senate committees have fully functional offices, fully staffed with career civil servants employed by the National Assembly Service Commission. These are career civil servants so the senators don’t hire and fire.

Yes the DSS does screening. Yes the EFCC and ICPC do screening. Yes the National Assembly does screening. These independent screenings happen for a reason. One of them should’ve caught it. They all failed.

bdon123:
This is a ridiculous assertion...Are u saying he knew d man has certificate issue n still appointed him.No be everything we fo blame tinubu

givedemwotowoto:
Explain the logic behind being upset with the people who said he did the right thing by resigning, and not the government that appointed, screened and confirmed him.

And while you’re finalizing, explain the logic behind making someone who tried to physically stop a moving aircraft, an airline ambassador.

While at it, explain also the logic behind having a man caught on tape in a bribery scandal, serve as the party chairman, and went on to become and ambassador

This is an embarrassment on the whole government. How can a minster of science and technology not have graduated from university. I am sure there are more people on Tinubu's cabinet with forged credentials.

Maybe we should go and blame the President of Senegal ?
