This may well be a major twist in the tale of the controversy generated by the interruption of the bidding process for the 2.3GHz spectrum. Recent claims by the Chairman of A3&O Ltd, Mr. Wale Adeyinka that his company did not write the purported petition upon which the Information and Communications Minister, Professor Dora Akunyili, based his castigation of the Nigerian Communications Commission over the bidding for the 2.3GHz national frequency spectrum may raise more questions about how government business is conducted in Nigeria.

Reports that the Minister of Information and Communications, Prof. Dora Akunyili unilaterally cancelled the sale of the 2.3GHz frequency band was at the weekend, debunked by the Ministry, describing it as being far from the truth.
