Abuja – The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has allayed the fears of Nigerians over the National Bureau of Statistic’s data which indicates that the country is on economic recession. The Minister, on Friday in Abuja, said that the Federal Government is on top of the situation.
“What I can assure you is that we are on top of the situation and we are confident that the second half of the year will be better than the previous. “Some of the things that impacted on this first two quarters were the acute fall in the price of crude oil,” he said. Mohammed said that the development was not new to the government, adding that measures were being taken to reverse the trend. “One thing we cannot take away from this government is that it is open, honest and will not keep Nigerians in the dark.
It would have been better if another person, rather than Lai Mohammed himself, had said this. lol
