Lai Mohammed Says Forget Propaganda Buhari Has Fulfilled Campaign Promises

Lai Mohammed, minister of information and culture, says President Muhammadu Buhari’s 
administration has fulfilled its campaign promises to Nigerians.

Mohammed made the pronouncement at the presentation of the National Social Investment 
Programmers (N-SIP), report card event to mark the 2nd anniversary of Buhari’s administration 
in Abuja.

The theme of the report card presentation was ‘Showcasing the Achievements of National 
Social Investment Programmes: A Smile for Every Nigerian’.

He said through N-SIP, the federal government provided employment to 200,000 unemployed 
graduates, engaged 57,000 people through Government Enterprise and Empowerment 
Programme (GEEP) and empowered about 26,000 ordinary Nigerians through Conditional
 Cash Transfer (CCT).

Mohammed said under the National Home Grown School Feeding Programme (NHGSFP), 
government was able to serve about 25 million meals to 1.2 million pupils all over the country
 in order to make learning conducive.

He added that the APC federal government under its school feeding programme had 
employed at least 12,000 cooks across 36 states and the FCT.

He said the programme was designed in such a way that it was easy and accessible to all
 Nigerians, adding “one of the unique selling points of the programmes is the transparency 
in it.”

According to him, this is the first programme in the history of Nigeria that you do not need 
to

 know anybody before you can get enrolled.

“I am happy that many of the beneficiaries have testified to this and this is a new dawn,” 
he said.

“My appeal to all the beneficiaries is to please let them not limit their testimonies to this hall
 please say it louder and clear at every time to all Nigerians.

“Let Nigerians know how this government has impacted positively on your lives.”

The minister said that in spite of dwindling resource, between since 2016, the federal
 government was able to add an additional $7 billion to its foreign reserves.

Mohammed disclosed that the Buhari administration had been able to attract $500 
million to the Sovereign Wealth Fund (SWF), and increased the Excess Crude $ 87 million.

Ikoyi whistleblower not stable to receive N860m reward, he may become mad’ – Sagay

Here’s what he said; “What I gathered from my inquiry is that the man is not sufficiently stable to receive such a huge sum of money. . He is like someone who will almost run mental when he gets the money and will use it in an irresponsible manner, attracting not only undesirable people but even danger to himself,” Sagay told PUNCH. . “I think what they wanted to do for him was to provide counsellors. Not just counsellors for character and mental situation but counsellors who would be like consultants that would help him to really invest the money and plan in such a way that he doesn’t throw it away in five minutes. They are trying to help him. Nobody is denying him anything. They are trying to help him but he just misunderstands the intention and like everyone that has been deprived for a long time, he is so desperate to have it but from what I can see, if they just give him everything, it won’t last more than a month or two because so many people will start finding ways to get
