Mr. Osita Chidoka, a former Minister of Aviation, has taken a swipe at the Muhammadu Buhari-led administration for not knowing how technology start-ups make money.
Mr Chidoka, a member of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, said this on Saturday while speaking at The Platform, an event hosted by the Senior Pastor of Covenant Nation, Poju Oyemade, to converse issues of national development.
“What is the average age of our cabinet. Our cabinet does not reflect Nigeria. They cannot understand Paystack, they cannot understand Flutterwave. They cannot understand Kobo360.
“They don’t know how to tax them. The tax authorities are taxing their revenues because they think that all the money received by Kobo360 is revenue. No, it is money they are receiving as an aggregator,” Channels Television quoted Chidoka as saying.

The Ekiti State Governor and Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum, Kayode Fayemi, has urged Nigerians to focus more on what is happening in the civil service and not on politicians particularly those at the federal level.
Gov Kayode Fayemi was speaking during The Platform, a programme facilitated and hosted by the Senior Pastor of Covenant Nation, Poju Oyemade.
Fayemi noted that seasoned civil servants can assist politicians in delivering the dividends of democracy to the people by replicating their expertise over the years in civil service to political officeholders.
