Buhari Clears N65b Fertiliser Debt by LoveMachine(m): 2:47am On Sep 06, 2016 |
The Buhari administration has criticized the Jonathan government over its failure to settle a N65 billion debt owed to suppliers of fertilisers. Malam Garba Shehu, the Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to President Buhari said in Abuja on Monday that it was wrong for the past government to buy fertilisers worth N65 billion since 2014 and leave the bill unpaid. He, however, said that the Federal Government had to pay off the debt so that the suppliers could begin to supply fertilisers again. The presidential aide attributed the current food crisis in the country to some of the unpopular policies of the past administrations. http://www.financialwatchngr.com/2016/09/06/buhari-clears-n65b-fertiliser-debt/ According to him, the current pain is due to the mismanagement of the past and that what Nigeria is currently experiencing was inevitable. He said the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration was simply being honest with the people instead of piling up debts and concealing the truth by pretending all was rosy. “This government believes that Nigerians deserve to know the truth. People stole unbelievable amounts of money. The kind of money some of these ex-officials hold is itself a threat to the security of the state. “Since it is not money earned, they feel no pain deploying just anyhow to thwart genuine and well-intentioned government efforts. “Sadly, even that which was not stolen was wasted. Government coffers were left empty, with huge debts unpaid and unrecorded (this government is working to quantify the amount owed). “Even the current high food prices can be traced to past deceit. For example, the previous government purchased fertilisers in 2014, worth N65 billion and left the bill unpaid. “In 2015 the suppliers could not supply fertilisers which resulted in a low harvest, shortages and high food prices. “This government had to pay off the debt so that the suppliers could begin to supply fertilisers again. Shehu expressed optimism that Nigeria had started witnessing another era of green revolution as Nigerians across the country were going back to the farms, from rice in Kebbi and Ebonyi to Soya and Sesame in Jigawa and Kano. He said that at the same time, Nigerians were looking inwards to identify commercial opportunities from agri-business. 1 Like |

LoveMachine:Jonascam left all manner of traps for the current admin. He carefully piled up debts in sectors that can bring the economy to a halt(marketer, builders etc), employed more staff at the last second. He paid N106B owed Rivers state under Ameachi in the last second of his admin for incoming Wike to the detriment of Nigeria even when N60B was being owed fertilizer suppliers. Jonascam was a natural disaster. 9 Likes |

Whao! Since 2014? Thank God they left some saving through Dasukigate. Oya pay from that gate. You see, when you inherit your father's property, it includes assets and liabilities. Had it been the poor man is alive he would pay his debt. |

Keep blaming the past government. this was what have been saying since this year,our agric sector was growing so fast all because of effort of the past government. But you have wasted all these effort through the following (1) you abandoned the GES programme since last year. (2) you refuse to pay people what was owed them. Now you want to heap your inadequacy on the past government, because of food scarcity that was caused by your lacklustre policy. |
