The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has said that the change promised Nigerians by the All Progressive Congress is not a ruse. Speaking at a town hall meeting for the South East organised by the Federal Ministry of Information in Enugu on Monday, Mohammed said that the change was already manifesting in every sector.

He said that contrary to the insinuations in certain quarters that the people were not feeling the impact of the government, a lot had been done in moving the country forward. He said that the government would remain undaunted in implementing its change agenda to improve the lot of Nigerians. “Many have said they are yet to see the change we promised. Many more have called the promise a ruse. “In fact, they are now mocking us. But we remain undaunted because we know that the change we promised is real. “In fact, the change we promised is already here, and it is manifesting all around us,’’ he said.

Buttressing his position, the minister said that the government had successfully stopped the looting of public funds which was responsible for underdevelopment. “Before now, public officials simply opened the public till, took as much money as they wanted and walked away without consequences. “That explains why funds allocated to the military to fight Boko Haram ended up in the piggy banks of many unscrupulous Nigerians “Today, all those who looted the public treasury are being made to answer for their actions, as impunity gives way to accountability. “Many have offered to return their loots, and many more are facing charges,” he said.

The minister said that with the introduction of the Treasury Single Account, funds meant for the Federal Government were directly paid in and used for development of infrastructure. He noted that before now, funds accruing to the government were paid into so many accounts and went to private purses. Mohammed said that the government had successfully identified and stopped salaries hitherto paid to more than 30,000 ghost workers. “We promised to diversify the economy away from oil, to ensure that other sectors are able to significantly contribute to sustainable development. “In June 2016, for the very first time, about 70 per cent of the more than N500 billion raised from the Federal Accounts Allocation Committee came from the non-oil sector, while 30 per cent came from the oil sector. “It was the first time in 2016 that the Federal Government shared more than N500 billion among the three tiers of government,” he said. In the area of security,

Mohammed said that the government had successfully crushed the Boko Haram terrorists and not a single territory was being administered by them.
On infrastructure, the minister said that construction firms had been mobilised to sites on major roads in the country. “As they move to site, they are creating thousands of new jobs. No part of the country is left out of this. “Where the contractors have not been seen on site, it is because of the rains, not because of lack of mobilisation.

The minister said that the complaints over perceived or real instances of lopsidedness in appointments were being addressed. “There are hundreds of appointments yet to be made. It is an evolving scenario and any lopsidedness is being addressed as we progress,” he said. The minister said that the town hall meetings were held to bridge the communication gap between the government and the people and to carry the people along in the process of governance.

Be quoting figures dere... 30,000 ghost workers- and have u put plans in place so that those wouldn't resurface? 500 billion shared among three the tiers of govt- pls, if the local govt is functioning in your state, say 'aye'. Scam!

Yea,you are right old man. The change is manifesting but it's not bettering the life of the lots,rather it's the contrary.

It's true its only the zombies like omenka and the other afonjas are seeing the development

The clown minister

Somebody should tell this lai Mohammed that they are no more opposition

Tell us what you are doing and leave problem of past government

Zombie are gritting their teeth as Lai Mohammed keeps slaying them. Lai, the slayer of zombies.

Of course. I can see the 'change' in the price of kerosene.

hmmmm...mr Lai mohammed..it is well o

Lai Muhammad is obiviously not normal.

Yes, we can see the change, we can see it from the prices of consumables, 50kg of rice is now between 20k and 22k.
Kerosene is no longer affordable, we have "changed" from using kerosene stove to sawdust filled tins, which was first used during Abacha time, hence the name....."abacha stove". Those using cooking gas have "changed" to the use of coal pots, since cooking gas is no longer affordable.

Yes, we can see the changes, even with the price of garri, normally, this is the time the price of garri is normal slashed, but "change" had affected it, instead of the price reducing, it has doubled, thanks to change.


Change can also be seen in how people are losing their jobs on daily basis, it has never been this bad, all join, na change cause am.

In fact, all the common things needed by common man are no longer affordable, all na "change" and it's effect.


Dollar scarcity nko, change don reach im side too.



But honestly, this change APC is giving us is not desirable at all at all.


I'm sure that next time, when Nigerians hear about change, they will ask which type of change is being talked about.

You dey mind the old man
They're shouting change while their actions show that they're actually putting people in chain.

Lai Mohammed please go to the market and ask for the price of foodstuffs. Every day, the price of commodities keep increasing.

Imagine going to enquire for the price of a derica cup measurement of rice in the morning which was 260naira, just this evening i went back, it's 300naira!! A bag of rice is 20k!!

Does it mean only the rich will eat rice now?

Shame on Lai Mohammed!!

Yes, I do, I really do.

I always pity families with 2,3or 4 kids who are low income earners. Honestly, how would such families cope in this present economic hardship ravaging the country.


Sincerely, it has never been this bad.

It's Just too bad! No one seems to be addressing the issue. Does it mean Buhari is not aware of the high cost of foodstuffs in the market? I just don't understand!

smh

lalasticlala

Lai muhammed should be conscious of what he says to the public.Else people will loose their temper as a result of this Buhari hardship and start throwing him satchel water and stones.
How can one relate what Lai is lying with the current economic situation on ground.
We should all pray for better days ahead and wish God answer our collective prayers of doing the needful to our president.
