Opinion: Between Madagascar’s Lollypop Ex-minister and Nigeria’s Kilishi Tech DG, By Olabisi Deji-Folutile
While it may be difficult to categorically state which is a more grievous offence between a minister ordering $2.2 million worth of sweet for school children and a DG in charge of producing raw materials who cannot define ‘raw material’, one thing is clear – our own DG’s offence is unpardonable.
Coincidentally, almost at the same time, here in Nigeria, a professor and director-general of the Raw Materials Research and Development Council, the agency in charge of developing raw materials for the nation’s industries, Hussain Ibrahim, listed Kilishi as the main breakthrough of the 33-year-old body. The only difference is that up till now, no higher authority has rebuked or punished our own DG for making such a terrible blunder.
