The Minister of Digital Economy, Bosun Tijani has lamented the turn of events at the ongoing nationwide protests in Kano.
TVN reports that the nationwide hunger protests tagged #EndBadGovernance started today August 1 to August 10 2024
A group of protesters participating in the ongoing protest have destroyed and looted a building in Kano state.
However, reacting to the development in a post on his official X on Thursday, the Minister of Digital Economy, Bosun Tijani stated that it would be a setback to the government’s efforts at encouraging youth employment through technology.
He wrote, ” Sad to learn that our Digital Innovation Park in Kano State 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 deepen our workforce for technology while creating job opportunities for the youth. Millions of Naira down the drain.”
