9mobile has debunked the report making the rounds that one of its directors, Abdulrahman Ado, is not on the United Arab Emirates (UAE) terror list.
Six Nigerians were named among the 38-man list released by the UAE authorities.
Among the names on the list is Abdurrahaman Ado Musa.
But 9mobile in a quick response, said that the report linking its director was not correct.
The telecommunication giant in a statement signed by its management on Tuesday, said its director Abdulrahman Ado is not the same as Abdurrahman Ado Musa who is on the list.
“The Management of 9mobile wishes to inform the general public that its Executive Director of Regulatory and Corporate Affairs, Abdulrahman Ado, is not the same as ‘Abdurrahman’ Ado ‘Musa’ purportedly designated along with others by the United Arab Emirates as terror financiers.”
“We, however, wish to clarify that the so-named individual is not 9mobile’s Executive Director, Regulatory & Corporate Affairs, Abdulrahman Ado. The resemblance in names is purely coincidental, and our Director does not bear ‘Musa’’’, the telecom company said.
The company said its director, Abdulrahman Ado, is a respectable law-abiding Nigerian who had served the country diligently in public service for over three decades before transferring his services to the private sector.
He served in various capacities and was Pioneer Vice-Chairman of the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission and Executive Commissioner, Licensing and Consumer Affairs, Nigerian Communications Commission, 9mobile added.
“As a law-abiding company that believes in the greatness of Nigeria, and the well-being of all its citizens, 9mobile would never accommodate any undesirable element within its management and staff’’, the company added.
