Our Achievements Are Real, Not Propaganda And Lies - Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari said his Administration has recorded concrete achievements which are there for all to see, contrary to the opposition's statement that the Administration is running on propaganda and lies.

The President, who was represented by the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, made the assertion at the opening of the two-day Nigeria Governors' Forum Conference for Media Handlers of States' Chief Executives in Abuja on Monday.

''For our Administration, our achievements are there for all to see. We are delivering in the broad areas that formed the plank of our policies: security, fight against corruption and the economy, which includes the massive provision of infrastructure, ease of doing business and agriculture, just to mention a few,'' he said.

Providing facts and figures, the President listed the Administration's achievements in ending subsidy and yet ensuring the availability of petroleum products; in raising power generation, transmission and distribution, in the massive provision of infrastructure; in tackling insecurity and making a success of the agriculture revolution, among others.

''Those who accused this Administration of 'propaganda and lies' in the fuel supply sector, for example, did not tell Nigerians that whereas they paid between 800 billion and 1.3 trillion Naira as 'subsidy' yearly in their time, without making the products available even at regulated prices, this Administration is not paying any subsidy, yet all products are currently available at competitive prices and fuel queues are now history. In their time, they paid subsidy of 3.7 billion Naira daily in 2011; 2.2 billion Naira daily in 2012 and 2013, and 2.5 billion Naira daily in 2014, all for products that were never available.

''Those who accused this government of 'propaganda and lies' also said we have not achieved anything in the power sector. Comment is free, facts are sacred, as they say. When this Administration assumed office on 29 May 2015, available power on the grid totalled 2,690MW, transmission capacity was around 5,000MW and distribution capacity was 4,000MW.

''As at 4 September 2017, the available power that can be put on the grid was 6,619MW; the transmission capacity was simulated at 6,700 MW
(up from 5,000 MW in 2015) but the distribution capacity was 4,600 MW, which was what was put on the grid. On September 12, 2017, production of power reached an all-time level of 7,001MW,'' he said

President Buhari said it is an irony that those who presided over a budget of 18 billion Naira for roads, 5 billion Naira for power and 1.8 billion Naira for Housing in 2015 are now accusing those who spent 198.25 billion Naira on roads, 91.2 billion Naira on power and 71.559 billion Naira on housing in the following year of non-achievement?

''Because of the increased spending in these areas, the massive debts owed to contractors are being settled so they can recall workers who were laid off and re-open closed work sites. As a matter of fact, during the implementation of the 2016 budget, we paid 103 construction companies executing 192 projects, and they, in turn, employed 17,749 people directly and 52,000 people indirectly in works.

''So far this year, 47.169 billion Naira has been paid to 62 contractors working on 149 projects to continue work on roads and bridges and keep people at work. Similar payments are being made to supervising consultants and to contractors in Housing and Power Sectors of the Ministry,'' he said.

The President also said highlighted the achievements that have been recorded by his Administration in the area of the Economy, wondering whether it is 'propaganda and lies' that headline Inflation has now fallen for the eighth consecutive month; that foreign exchange reserves are up to $32 billion, from $24 billion a year ago: that oil production is at nearly 2 million barrels per day and that Home-grown School Feeding Programme now being implemented in 17 States is benefiting more than 3 million public primary school children and more than 30,000 cooks across 20,000 schools.

He said close to 200,000 youths are now benefiting from the N-Power Programme, which recruits unemployed graduates to work as teachers,
agricultural extension workers, and health extension workers; that the Government Enterprise & Empowerment Programme (GEEP), which provides micro-credit to farmers, traders, and artisans, now has in excess of 1 million beneficiaries, with women accounting for 56% of that number, and that at about $1.8 billion, the capital inflows in the second quarter of 2017 were almost double the $908 million in the first quarter.

''If our achievements are based on 'propaganda and lies', as they claim, why is our agricultural revolution achieving so much success: We have commissioned the 120,000 MT per annum WACOT Rice Mill in Argungu, Kebbi State. We have commissioned the 60,000 MT per annum Edo
State Fertilizer Company Limited. What about the commissioning of OLAM's 750,000 MT per annum Integrated Poultry Facility in Kaduna State? Do you know that 15 moribund Fertilizer Blending Plants have now been revived and in operation across Nigeria, under the Presidential Fertilizer Initiative, creating 50,000 direct jobs and 70,000 indirect jobs?'' the President asked.

He said when the Administration assumed office in 2015, Boko Haram was active in at least 10 states, could stroll into Abuja at a time and target of their own choosing to cause maximum havoc, in addition to holding territories and collecting taxes.

''Today, Boko Haram has been so degraded that it lacks the capacity to carry out any organized attack, while also increasingly losing the capacity to even attack soft targets. Importantly, Boko Haram no longer holds any territory. The same vigour is being used to address the
herdsmen-farmers' clash, kidnapping for ransom and other crimes,'' the President said.

He said the biggest challenge facing government information managers is how to project the achievements of their principals against the background of worsening cases of disinformation and fake news, adding that the best way to tackle the problem is to remain focused, refused to be distracted or intimidated and also to use facts and figures to counter the purveyors of disinformation and fake news.

Oga wetin u achieve na, Explain yourself well

Lia Mohammed is a reprobate liar and a Career propagandist.

enny09:
And this government is still paying for subsidy but lai Mohammed is saying different thngs

there is still subsidy in the budget and the money PDP was paying as subsidy where is the money o them son loot that one, APC the sharing party

Buhari has fulfill his campaign promise, their is 24/7 electricity in my area, Nigerian pls be patients things will surely turn around.

kstyle2:
To be honest, this administration has been a colossal failure. Most if not all the promises made during their campaign is yet to be fulfilled. Hardly any difference between this administration and the previous

There is difference my brother. The last administration was better.

Boyooosa:
The time wey sickness wan kill another person's person, he no go run go UK?
Make sickness com kill am because of ordinary propaganda bah?

But nobody forced them to make that promise. They wanted power at all cost, even if they had to promise heaven and earth. Now that they have that power they are trying to tell us that they are fulfilling those promises even when its crystal clear that they are making things worse.

Manobravo09:
Buhari has fulfill his campaign promise, their is 24/7 electricity in my area, Nigerian pls be patients things will surely turn around.

how big is your area? Are things also less expensive in your area? What happens when you leave your area? So you want someone who only gets maybe 2hrs of power supply in a week at their area to be patient with buhari? You people keep asking nigerians for patience, for the love of mike, buhari is in his 3rd year now and we all know that they'll use the whole of next year to feed us more lies for their campaigns.

izombie:
But nobody forced them to make that promise. They wanted power at all cost, even if they had to promise heaven and earth. Now that they have that power they are trying to tell us that they are fulfilling those promises even when its crystal clear that they are making things worse.

Really, they failed woefully according to the promises in that manifesto but I have a feeling that this present dispensation is greatly better than the immediate past one... That scores the worst dispensation in this current republic.

OZAOEKPE:
