Youths hiding under the guise of the #EndBadGovernace protest broke into the Digital park of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) in Kano, vandalizing the property and carting away with millions worth of equipment, including computers and furniture.
This news was disclosed in an interview with Channels Television by Dr. Bosun Tijani, the minister of Communication, Innovation and Digital Economy.
When asked to estimate the value of the vandalized facility and the looted equipment, the Minister stated that the loss to the attack runs into millions if not billions of Naira, as the property was damaged and about 150 laptops and desktops were stolen.
He however, noted that a private company in Kano had indicated interest in renovating the vandalized facility.
The Minister, however, noted that the vandalization of the facility would not impede the future plans for the Kano ICT Park as the Ministry is already getting support to make sure the park is renovated for your use.
