Executive secretary of the Nigerian Investment Promotion Commission, NIPC,, Yewande Sadiku[Photo: creativenigeria.org]A crisis is brewing in Nigeria’s agency responsible for sourcing and coordinating foreign investment, the Nigeria Investment Promotion Council .
Earlier this year, a member of the governing council, Ali Sani, wrote to the executive secretary questioning the payment of millions of naira each year to herself ”in the name of foreign leave allowance”. “The payment of the allowances to me in November 2017 and August 2018, following my resumption in November 2016 are therefore not usual.”The awry relationship between the two sides, however, got to a head earlier this month after a video recording surfaced in which the executive secretary criticised President Muhammadu Buhari’s approach of securing foreign direct investment.
“It was him himself that will say ‘Obinna, Shettima come and invest in Nigeria and any mosquito that bites you, tell NIPC, they will come and tell me’. And when you tell NIPC mosquito is biting Shettima, you go and tell the president, president will kill the mosquito.” In the November 6 radio programme, Mrs Sadiku was praised as a ”reform champion who was facing resistance from her staff that were used to crooked old ways.”
He alleged that some appointees of government ”were teaming up with opposition in discrediting the government, rather than deliver on the mandates given them”.
You can't be progressive and be probuhari. The 2 no flow. And e go show one day for every progressive.
The statement credited to the lady is absolutely true. A president of any nation MUST be the no1 Salesman and Chief Marketer for the nation. Buhari has fared very poorly in that area. Instead he had demarketed Nigeria in many of his unguarded and irresponsible comments.
