Nnamdi Nwokike, director of public affairs at the Nigerian Communication Commission (NCC) and eleven other senior staff retires from the commission effective from April 1, 2019.

It would be recalled that Nwokike took over from Tony Ojobo less than six month ago as the director of public affairs at the Commission.

The Commission on Thursday made the announcement at the special valedictory executive management session held to herald their send forth and to usher in another senior management meeting coming up on Friday, 30th March 2019.

Speaking at the valedictory session, Prof. Umar Garba Danbatta, Executive Vice Chairman and Chief Executive of NCC said.“This afternoon, we began the send forth process for 12 amazing and wonderful management staff who will exit the Commission effective from April 1, 2019 when they will commence their terminal leave of absence,”

The EVC noted the staff “will be leaving a vacuum difficult to fill”, advising that whether in service or not, they should find ways to contribute to our communities.

Several Executive Management staff amplified EVC’ voice and wished all the outgoing staff best wishes.

Mr. Nnamdi Nwokike, who responded on behalf of his fellow retirees, said that: “we are leaving the work in capable hands who will do better than how we met and left it”. He Thanked the EVC, colleagues as well as all staff of the Commission for their best wishes.

Meanwhile the same neighbour has been helping us all along, unlocking our phones, catching scam emails before they land, and warning us about traffic before we leave the house. If you own a smartphone in Nigeria, you already use artificial intelligence every day.
