| Pres. Muhammadu Buhari. |
"NIGERIAS
ARE YOU READY''???
We
expect a leaked letter addressed to President Muhammadu Buhari from the office
of the Minister of information Alhaji Lai Mohammed very soon.
Like
the Minister of State for Petroleum Ibe Kachikwu and several Ministers
including Babatunde Fashola, a source hinted that Alhaji Mohammed has not been
able to secure an appointment to see PMB neither has the President acknowledged
or reacted to the several memos that Alhaji Mohammed sent to him on wide
ranging issues affecting smooth running of the information and culture
ministry.
Sources
say Alhaji Mohammed has a difficult nut to crack in one of his DG's, the
Artistic Director of the National Theatre Tar Ukoh whom another source revealed
was appointed without any input from the Minister. Sources say that the
National theatre DG has refused to take directives from the Minister insisting
that as an appointee of the President just like the Minister, he is only
answerable to the President, the Chief of Staff and the Secretary to government
who signed his letter of appointment.

The
source also said that Tar Ukoh has ignored several directives of the Minister
to report to his duty post in Lagos. Staff of the National Theatre say the last
time Tar Ukoh showed up was in March "and for 2 days". They alleged
that since then he has been running the theatre on phone "from Jos".
To be sure, this reporter visited the national theatre consistently all through
august and September and even up-till this morning and the staff have no news
about his whereabout. Staff of the Abuja office said he was last seen at the 'Abuja
liaison office in July'. Calls to the mobile number sourced from his staff have
remained on "call divert".

DG, National Theatre. |
The
national theatre is currently in a mess as there has been no power supply to
the building since July. The once vibrant
cultural edifice looks deserted. Only a few staff were seen under the almond
tree by the main entrance expressing their displeasure over the decision of
President Muhammed Buhari to appoint "a man who is not ready for the job
and who has no track record of success as an administrator".
Let
the ''LEAKING OF LETTERS'' continue.
