Browsing: Prof. Adeolu Akande

The extension was as a result of the virtual meeting chaired by the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Dr. Isa Ali Ibrahim Pantami, and attended by the Chairman of the Nigerian Communications Commission, Prof. Adeolu Akande; Executive Vice Chairman/CEO of NCC, Prof. Umar Garba Dambatta; and Director-General/CEO, National Identity Management Commission, Engr. Aliyu Azeez.

Asking Makinde, who has been holidaying in Houston, Texas, United States of America to return to the country immediately, Akande, who is the Director of the Centre for Presidential Studies, Igbinedion University, Okada, Edo State, asked all indigenes, irrespective of their political leanings, to identify with the governor at this critical time.

The first anecdote narrated by Akande, Chairman of the Nigerian Communications Commission, was one he was told by a senator whose team had visited Somalia as parliamentary delegation to the war-torn country, some years ago. Somalia, you will recall, is a mono-ethnic nation which bore all indices of nationhood.
