Bosun Tijani, the minister of digital economy, lamented as protesters set the yet-to-be commissioned Digital Innovation Park ablaze on the first day of the #EndBadGovernance in Kano, Nigeria.
According to the Tijani, the park was slated for launch next week.
“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.”
