The Federal Government has decried the destruction of Nigeria Communications Commission (NCC) office in Kano State, stating that millions of naira have gone down the drain.
Bosun Tijani who is The Minister of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy said this while reacting to the looting and setting ablaze of NCC’s Industrial Complex by protesters.
He lamented that the NCC Digital Park Kano ought to be launched next week in support of the federal government’s 3 Million Technical Talent (3MTT) programme.
He explained that the activities of hoodlums who hijacked the peaceful protest, looted the NCC building and set it ablaze have set back the federal government’s journey to create jobs for youths.
“Alongside 3MTT, this building is set to host our buildathon holiday maker programme for secondary school kids starting next week.
“A slight setback for our journey to deepening our workforce for technology while creating job opportunities for the youth. Millions of Naira down the drain,” Tijani wrote on his X handle.
