Protesters in Kano, in the ongoing #EndBadGovernance protest, have torched and looted a new Digital Park built by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), carting away equipment including computers and furniture.
Videos making the rounds on social media on Thursday confirmed this. The videos showed some protesters carrying computers and chairs from the yet-to-be-commissioned Park.
The Minister of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, Dr. Bosun Tijani, said the protesters also set the facility ablaze after looting it.
Reacting to the development via a post on X, Tijani said the Digital Park was scheduled to be commissioned next week. According to him, the facility was built to support the ongoing 3 Million Technical Talent (3MTT) programme of the government.
