NATCOM Activities Remain Suspended Pending Presidential Assent — Mohammed

All activities of the proposed National Commission for the Co-ordination and Control of the proliferation against Small Arms, Ammunitions, Light Weapons in Nigeria (NATCOM) remain suspended pending presidential assent of the Bill establishing organisation.

This was disclosed in a statement issued in Abuja by the Co-ordinating Director of Human Resources of the proposed Commission, Dr. David Olaitan, on behalf of proponent of the NATCOM Bill, Dr. Baba Mohammed.

He reiterated that the proposed commission had warned at many instances that members of the public must not engage themselves in any illegal activities tantamount to threatening the peace of Nigeria as such defaulters will be punished by the law of the Federation.

“Members of the commission across the country were also cautioned at several times to refrain from comments, write-ups and unguarded utterances in some social media platforms regarding the commission and even agencies of government while awaiting and praying for presidential assent to the NATCOM Bill.

“Members of the public are also advised not to engage in any financial transactions of all forms with anyone on behalf of the proposed NATCOM as the proposed commission’s officials are law abiding and will remain so,” he added.
