I am not aware of Peterside’s sack – Amaechi
The Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi has said he is unaware of the alleged sack of the Director-General of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency , Dakuku Peterside.
Our correspondent monitored a morning show on television on Thursday where the Minister of Transportation reacted to the news of the sack. “Maybe we need to call him this morning to know whether he is in the office but the government does not take an arbitrary decision. If he were to be sacked, the minister of transportation would be told to formally intimate the DG of his sack and I am not aware that the president has directed me to intimate anybody of his sack.
On the speculation that his alleged sack might be due to the failure of the agency to audit its account for six years, the minister said: “I am not aware that that could be the reason. He has been DG for only four years because he came into office in 2016 and they cannot be punishing him for the offence committed by previous DGs.
