Minister of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, Dr. Bosun Tijani has voiced out his displeasure with the destruction of Nigeria Communication Commission (NCC) Industrial Park in Kano.
Gatekeepers News reports that the minister lamented through a post on X.
The park was looted and set ablaze by some youths during the #EndBadGovernment protest on Thursday, days before its scheduled launch.
Nigeria Communication Commission (NCC) Industrial Park was designed to support Nigeria’s technical talent accelerator program (3MTT).
Tijani said, “Sad to learn that our Digital Innovation Park in Kano slated for launch next week to support our technical talent accelerator (3MTT) has been set ablaze and looted by protesters.”
The minister further highlighted the immediate impact of this destruction on planned initiatives.
He continued, “Alongside #3MTT, this building is set to host our buildathon holiday maker programme for secondary school kids starting next week.”
Tijani noted that the damage is a setback for the journey to deepening the workforce for technology and creating job opportunities for the youth.
He added, “Millions of Naira down the drain.”
