The Nigerians in Diaspora Commission says it has moved from the unsavoury bicker over the use of office spaces with the Minister of Communication & Digital Economy, Dr Isa Pantami.

This is coming after the Nigerian Communications Commission exonerated the Minister from the forceful ejection of staff from the allocated fifth floor in the NCC Annex building.

In a statement from the NIDCOM, the commission said it has put the whole saga behind it and moved on.

It also went to demand the release of its seized equipment as well.

"While we know that he who pays the piper dictates the tune, we remain focused on our core mandate, determined to fulfil our vision and mission statement.

"We hope that all head of ministries, departments and agencies would continuously treat each other with respect, and apply emotional intelligence at all times, in the service of the administration and the nation.

"We look forward to the release of all our equipment which includes over 140 work stations, computers, printers, a fully equipped call center, amongst others. We are optimistic that all items locked up since Feb. 11th, will be released to us in good condition," the statement read in part.
