Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed has assured Nigerians that the present administration was determined to turn around the economic situation for good. Mohammed noted that the administration was aware that it was not elected to make excuses but to put the nation back on a sound economic footing, ensure the security of lives and property and banish corruption, The Nation reports.

He therefore assured Nigerians that the change promised was real, despite the current tough situation. Speaking at a meeting with members of Broadcasting Organizations of Nigeria (BON) in Abuja alongside four other ministers, the minister reassured Nigerians that the present administration was not lacking in political will, commitment, discipline and prudence.

Other ministers in attendance are: Dr. Chris Ngige, Labour and Employment; Babatunde Fashiola, Power, Housing and Work; FCT, Musa Bello and Trade and Investment, Okey Enelamah. Information and Culture minister also noted that for keen followers of the activities of government in the past one year will admit that the administration has made great strides towards fulfilling its campaign promises.

He said, “As I have said at many fora, our economy, or whatever is left of it after years of serial mismanagement and massive corruption, is in a bad state. “Throw into the mix the huge fall in oil price, and you have nothing but a disaster of an economy. But then, this Administration is aware that it was not elected to make excuses but to put the nation back on a sound economic footing, ensure the security of lives and property and banish corruption.

“We have therefore decided to turn the disaster that we inherited into a blessing by diversifying our economy away from the mono-product of oil, leveraging on agriculture, solid minerals as well as culture and tourism, among others. “Let me assure Nigerians that the change we promised is real, despite the tough situation we are in at the moment. It is real because there is no shortage of political will, commitment, discipline and prudence on the part of government, under the dedicated and visionary leadership of President Buhari.

at the mention of lie Mohammed the devil begins to wonder if he's still eligible for the throne of lies.

But you have been making a lot of it. A quick resort to blaming the past administration has become your buffer against criticisms.

Oh please..... We are exhausted from your empty promises and unlimited assurances without working to achieve your main objective. . Everyday "we will", "we shall", "we will".... This country self...

I have heard o

If you look at his statements properly, you will still deduce thesame message; BLAME previous administrations. Leopard can never change the spots in his skin. But come to think of it, I think Buhari and APC should be grateful to GEJ for his failure. Otherwise who will vote an old tyrant without vision to rule the most educated nation in Africa.

Then why do you keep making excuses....

Who still believes this Masquerade Human Resources Manager

Ordinarily I don't read anyting lai mohammed but I read dis one n would've been surprised not to see him blaming pdp.

Yes, you were not elected to tell excuses but to fabricate lies, to blame the past government for all our problems and do nothing about it. It's your one year in office and Nigeria is worst than you meet it.

I know you guys re not prepared to lead Nigeria. You re just good at propaganda and best as opposition. That's just the fact.

HIS CHILDREN WOULD BE ASHAMED OF HIM BY NOW.
I WONDER HOW HE FEELS WHEN HE HEARS OR READS ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE SAY OF HIM

of course not, but only to tell lies.

Thank God Lai Mohammed was not a spokesperson for any of the two contending forces during the civil war. It wouldn't have ended under 3 years.

you are specifically appointed to lai.
