The Federal Ministry of
Information under the supervision of Alhaji Lai Mohammed has been given a
one-week notice to vacate its Abia State Division office for its alleged
failure to pay rent for two years.
The landlord of the property, through
his lawyer, Adizua Okoroafor, served a quit notice on the ministry.
Punch newspaper reports that the
quit notice was backed by an order of the Umuahia North Magistrates’ Court,
which authorised the landlord or his assignee to approach the court to seek an
order to eject the ministry.
An official of the ministry, who
confirmed the receipt of the quit notice on the condition of anonymity, said
the rent of the office complex had not been paid since the current Minister for
Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, took over the running of the ministry.
He said: “Since Alhaji Lai
Mohammed was appointed as the Minister of Information and Culture, he has not
taken the welfare of the Ministry of Information seriously. He is using the
money of the Ministry of Information to run the Ministry of Culture, but
Culture is under Information.
“We have never seen such a
situation where a minister will hide in the Ministry of Culture and abandon the
Ministry of Information and that is why we are having this issue of non-payment
of our rent. Our rent has not been paid for over two years and we are suffering
it now.
“We don’t even know what comes
next. Our landlord has threatened to eject us any moment from now, and he
started a court action against us.
“Our staff members have been
advised to take their personal belongings from the office because we may come
to work one morning and find out that the office has been locked up.”
