Dr. Isa Ali Pantami, who is the minister of communication and digital economy of Nigeria, is a man with a big title but has not been able to assist the government of Nigeria to end insecurity across the country. In our opinion, he is unaware of the function and description of his job. If he knew his job properly, he should have been able to offer solutions that would end the insecurity in Nigeria. Kidnappers will kidnap Nigerians and take them to their hideouts, making phone calls. Even when the kidnapped victims fall sick, they will use a phone to call doctors to come to their hideouts and treat their victims. They also use the same phone to demand ransom payment from their victims’ families. These groups of criminals have phones which they use on a daily basis to make calls. In a country where a man parades himself as a minister of communication and digital economy, still these kidnappers and bandits can not be apprehended. This is an indication of incompetence. If it were in other countries, kidnapping and banditry would have been history. But in Nigeria, it is now a lucrative business, which is sad. The government of Nigeria should look for ways to end such evil practice because it does not speak well of a great country like Nigeria.
