The Federal Government has reacted after protesters invaded the Nigerian Communication Commission Industrial Park.
The park which is set for commissioning next month was set ablaze before the protesters gained entry. 
They looted food items, furnitures, mattresses, appliances amongst others.
Reacting, Minister of Communications, Innovation, and Digital Economy, Bosun Tijani, expressed dismay over the incident.
He described it as a major setback for Nigeria’s technological advancement efforts.
He tweeted:
“Sad to learn that our 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.
“Alongside #3MTT, this building is set to host our buildathon holiday maker programme for secondary school kids starting next week.
“A slight setback for our journey to deepening our workforce for technology while creating job opportunities for the youth. Millions of Naira down the drain.”.
