The
Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, said on Thursday that no
amount of hatred will obliterate the solid achievements recorded by the
administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.
The minister stated this in Abuja while
declaring open the National Broadcasting Commission, NBC, Annual Lecture and
25th Anniversary celebration of creation of the Commission.
Mr. Mohammed said that contrary to the
impression being created by purveyors of hate speech and fake news, the Buhari
Administration had, in a short time, recorded solid achievements under a most
difficult situation.
He said despite operating with just 45 per cent
of the funds available to the immediate past administration due largely to the
fall in prices of oil, the Buhari government had achieved tremendously.
The minister said that it was as a result of
the efficient leadership of Buhari that Nigeria had not witnessed economic and
social crises like other oil dependent nations.
“A country that has consistently produced more
oil than Nigeria, despite having about one sixth of the Nigerian population, is
today embroiled in the worst economic crisis in its history.
“There is shortage of food, medicine and
everything, and there is hyper-inflation.
“With Nigeria being affected by the same
downturn in oil prices, coupled with years of monumental mismanagement of the
country’s economy and the mindless and maddening looting of its treasury by
rapacious public officials, why is Nigeria not in similar crisis as the country
in question?
“My answer is simple: Because Nigeria has a President like
Muhammadu Buhari,” he said.
