House Asks NCDC to Test Multichoice CEO for COVID-19
The House of Representatives Ad hoc Committee investigating non- implementation of the pay-as -you- go tariff plan by satellite broadcasters and DSTV subscription price increase has asked Director General of the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control , Dr. Chikwe Ihekweazu, to find the CEO of Multichoice, John Ugbe, and test him for COVID-19.
He told the Committee that due to pre-scheduled engagements with its shareholders, they would be unable to appear before it and humbly seek the indulgence of the Committee in rescheduling the hearing to July 22, 2020. The letter reads, ”We regret to inform the Committee that we would be unable to appear before it today due to a sudden illness of our Chief Executive Officer, after arriving in Abuja yesterday for this meeting. Because of the abundance of caution needed to be taken in line with the current pandemic, we believe it is necessary that the meeting be deferred until he has regained his health and is cleared by his medical doctor.
In his contribution, Hon. Prestige Ossy, frowned at the CEO for failing to honor summons, saying he should be sanctioned.
