The Federal Government has responded to the recent attack on the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) Industrial Park by protesters.
The park, set for commissioning next month, was set on fire before the protesters broke in. They looted food items, furniture, mattresses, appliances, and more.
Minister of Communications, Innovation, and Digital Economy, Bosun Tijani, expressed dismay over the incident, calling it a significant setback for Nigeria’s technological advancement efforts.
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 buildathon holiday maker programme for secondary school kids starting next week. A slight setback for our journey to deepening our workforce for technology while creating job opportunities for the youth. Millions of Naira down the drain.”
