Chris Ngige, Minister of Labour and Employment, says Nigerians should be clapping President Muhammadu Buhari every day for making the country work and thanking those of them who made his presidency happen.

He spoke with journalists in Onitsha, Anambra State, on Sunday, where he gave a list of reasons Nigerians should appreciate the economic improvements the country has recorded under the watch of his principal.

Noting that with “any other person handling this situation — economy, security, it would have been worse”, the minister stated that “we came in and oil nosedived to 37 dollars a barrel with a production of 600,000 per day, a drop from 2.2 million and yet we managed the economy out of recession”.

He continued: “Nigerians should be clapping for us [sic] on a daily basis, and after thanking God, they should thank us. Yes, because God has used Buhari and some of us to make Nigeria work.”

Listing other achievements of the present administration, he said: “We’ve encouraged people and said there is dignity in labour with the hand. Today, we are second to America in world production of sorghum; today, we are importing about four per cent of the rice needs of the country.

“Prior to that, this country was spending $5m daily on rice and about $1.8b annually on rice importation. And you don’t want to clap for us!”

He went on to describe those “complaining against the Buhari government” as “loafers looking for appointments and air-conditioned jobs”.

Baawaa:
Thank God for Buhari,God can use anybody that is available

Nonsense crap.

Everything has changed in this country. Even the way matured men/ past leaders talk.

I wonder if they reason before talking or could it be that bloggers are at work.

Let this man not talk about Economy oooo.



During GEJ's administration money way flowing, Business was moving well, Economy was boosted.
Some persons were making upto 2.5 million a month, But this administration crippled the economy, money no longer flow as before, business is something else.

Some persons were making about 2.5 million during the past administration but with this administration, they can't struggle upto 500k.

I refuse to believe Chris N.

In life if you spend all your salary the day you receive it, you definately enjoy that day nd suffer the rest of the month...
Gej reduced our reserves to 29billon dollar despite the oil boom in his administration.
how do you tend to escape hard times with that figure in a country of about 200million population..

Today the reserves is above 45billion.
We should give baba some accolades @least..
