Anti government protests in Nigeria’s northern city of Kano has turned violent as protesters, on Thursday morning looted and set Digital Innovation Park in Kano ablaze.
The facility slated for launch next week, was established to support technical talent accelerator (3MTT).
Alongside 3MTT, the building was set to host the buildathon holiday maker programme for secondary school kids starting next week.
Nigeria’s Minister of Communication and Digital Economy, Dr Bosun Tijanni, who lamented the incident in a post on X (formerly Twitter) stated that this represents a slight setback for Nigeria’s journey to deepening the country’s workforce for technology while creating job opportunities for the youth.
“Millions of Naira down the drain.looted 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,” Dr Bosun has disclosed in his post on X.
Thousands of Nigerians thronged out Thursday morning to protest hardship, asking the government to, among other requests, reverse the prices of fuel, which has been directly linked to the record high inflation being faced by the country.
