BULLS: Mr. Truthful

Last week, the Head of Corporate Communications at the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) Mr. Philip Kyanet bidded farewell to NIMASA amid positive sentiments from his colleagues, journalists as well as the NIMASA Director General, Dr. Bashir Jamoh.

Philip was described as too ‘truthful’ and too ‘polite’ for the job.

One of the speakers at the event labelled Philip as too courteous to be either a politician or apublic servant.

This seemingly genuine appraisal of Mr. Philip Kyanet lays bare the shocking, yet, generally accepted norm that liars make better politicians and public servants in today’s Nigeria.
