• Minister blames officials for not obtaining documents

Foreign Affairs Minister Geoffrey Onyeama has said officials of Nigerian High Commission in Accra, Ghana, committed an error that culminated in the demolition of a structure within the premises of the High Commission.

The minister noted that the officials failed to take necessary action to get requisite documents for ownership of the parcel of land the structure was built on.

But he emphasised that such error was not an enough reason for the pulling down of the building by a Ghanaian businessman last weekend.

Onyeama said the Ghanaian government had assumed responsibility for the demolition and promised to rebuild the structure to its original level.

The minister, who addressed reporters on the resolution between Nigeria and Ghana on the demolition, said the Nigerian High Commission failed to obtain legal title for the land, which it had paid for in Year 2000.

Besides, the minister said it also failed to obtain necessary approvals before erecting the building.

“It was clearly a mistake on our side. What the Ghanaians said is that owing to the fact that our High Commission did not obtain a lease, following the allocation letter they got after paying for the plot of land, nor did we proceed to obtain a land title certificate and we didn’t even get a building permit for the new property.

“When other people came claiming ownership of the land, the commission did not see anything in the register because the lease title had not been obtained. It is clearly an error on the side of our High Commission.

“We would learn from that. But clearly, our documenting and record-keeping and processes would need to be sharpened. In terms of how we deal with our officers, this is something that happened in 2000. That was 20 years ago.

“The officials are no longer in service. We rather just learn from our mistake and ensure we have more rigour whenever we are engaging in legal issues in all our missions.

“The Ghanaian government has directed the necessary administrative procedures that were not followed should be done now, meaning that title deeds be formerly given to the High Commission of Nigeria since the documentary proof acknowledged by the Ghanaian land registry of receipt of payment on the property has been done many years ago.”

It is why we are and the terrible state or condition we find the nation in. The wanton flagrant violation of rules, laws and/or protocols.

It is the lackadaisical shoddiness bad culture reason behind too, how Bakassi peninsula & its oil reserves was transferred from Nigerian control to that of Cameroon

Onyeama is a big dunce who got job through Abba Kyari his best man

Minister of Disaster , Buhari's girlfriend, and Onyeama Minster for Foreign disgrace are not meant to lead any ministry, they should just hand over to the permanent secretary of such ministry

Minister admitted to obtaining land for Nigeria from land grabbers and omo onile, used our tax payers money to build a building without building permit or notifying Ghana government, and he couldn't resign, he would still collect bogus salary

Soon he would claim the building cost $100m and needs another $100m budgeted for a new one




.

They carried this their nonchalant lawless attitude outside, tufiakwa

Last, Last na to sell dis country sure pass.

Very useless leaders we have presently, would they try this under obasanjo no matter what. such a building would have sensitive documents. President Buhari we have now as a leader only knows how to react and express shock no action.

them think say ghana dey lawless like the zoo


E NO GO BETTER FOR ZONEBEES

What a shame

This is not an acceptable excuse!

And u shouted Ghana demolished ur building

I just feel like slapping somebody now for being stupid and idiotic fool.

Buhari is a Dundee

Nigerians carrying their lawlessness abroad now in official capacity.

Poor. When he should be making a strong demand for a more penitent apology from Ghana. Doubtful that he sought and obtained sound legal advise from our MOJ.
