These are not the best of times for Mrs. Nike Animashaun, Former Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Science and Technology, Lagos.

Those in the know disclosed to us that after she was retired from Lagos State Civil Service by Gov. Akinwunmi Ambode, the elegant lady went home and took her retirement in good faith. Later, the good Lord put a smile on her face and she got another job at NNPC as General Manager, Nigerian Petroleum Development Company (NPDC), then trouble started.

Those in the know revealed to us that a top politician in Lagos State was not comfortable with her at the NNPC and wanted her fired at all cost. We were told this powerful politician has been putting pressure on the powers that be at the NNPC to kick her out of her job and the elegant lady of style and panache has no one except God to help her keep her job.
