Some unidentified individuals suspected to be part of the ongoing #EndBadGovernance nationwide protests have broken into a Nigeria Communication Commission (NCC) Digital Innovation Park located in Kano State.
It was gathered that the suspected individuals stormed the building around noon on Thursday and carted away scores of valuables from the building.
The Minister of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, Dr Bosun Tijani confirmed the development.
Tijani, who took to his official X handle, expressed his disappointment with the event. He disclosed that the Digital Innovation Park was slated to be commissioned next week.
He tweeted: “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. Alongside #3MTT, this building is set to host our holiday maker programme for secondary school kids starting next week. This is a slight setback for our journey to deepen our workforce for technology while creating job opportunities for the youth. Millions of Naira down the drain.”
