Nigeria’s communication and digital economy minister Isa Pantami is alleged to have evicted staff of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission out of their office space in Abuja.
Dabiri-Erewa said office equipment, workstations and files belonging staff of the agency were locked up at the Nigeria Communications Commission building, four months after the forced eviction. “Thereafter, the Director Special Duties of NCC informed NiDCOM staff that he is acting on the instruction from the Hon Minister Pantami to evacuate/refuse them entry into the building until further directive is given.”
“I’m a government employee, so is he . It’s government business. Do I go on the street and start fighting him? So, I said I would take the higher ground. I decided that I’m not going to raise any dust about it.” “The fifth floor allocated to NiDCOM had to be used to accommodate other departments from the NCC headquarters to ease congestion.
