NTDC D.G, Foley Coker In Trouble As Workers Protest Against Him.


There are clear indications of troubles ahead of the Nigerian Tourism Development Commission (NTDC)'s Director-General, Foley Coker, 7 months into his appointment to the commission.

Workers of the Nigerian Tourism Development Corporation, NTDC, yesterday, November 29, 2017 shut down the headquarters of the agency in Abuja, calling for the sack of the Director-General, Foluronsho Folarin Coker, for incompetence.

The workers who were piqued by what they called high-handedness and poor welfare of the workers by the Coker-led management, expressed disappointment over the developments at the Corporation. 

They noted that Coker set up a project unit which is not part of the NTDC nomenclature, but a conduit pipe to siphon money out of the agency. 

The workers, who were carrying various placards with different inscriptions, lamented that the DG has not been able to achieve anything since taking over NTDC barely eight months ago.

They expressed disappointment over what they called his poor leadership style and lack of respect for the workers. 

Some of the placards carried by the workers read, ‘DG Mr Folunrusho Coker, we are tired of your insults, we are not your slaves,’ ‘Coker, give us our job, we want to work,’ ‘Coker needs management training,’ ‘Coker, stop all impunity and financial recklessness in NTDC,’ ‘NTDC staff say no to oppressors,’ ‘NTDC staff are not animals, treat us like human beings,’ ‘Special assistant is not a full time employment,’ ‘Let the staff work, what kind of a leader is Coker,’ ‘Seven months after assumption of duty, no meeting with staff,’ ‘Coker said Buhari has not been able to achieve anything in two years and so NTDC staff should not expect him to do magic,’ ‘Folunrunsho Coker lacks human relations, he is a bully,’ ‘PMB, as a matter of urgency, should sack Folorunsho Coker,’ ‘Only Coker attends foreign exhibition,’ etc.

Meanwhile, the management of NTDC has promised to respond appropriately to all the issues raised by the workers.

Coker was the fromer Lagos Tourism Commissioner before he was sacked last ear by Gov. Ambode and later appointed NTDC D.G by President Muhammadu Buhari.
