Buhari critics are ignorant, says Lai Mohammed

 

The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, has lashed out at critics who claimed the administration of the President, Muhammadu Buhari, has failed in the area of economic development.

 

He said that such statements are borne out of ignorance since infrastructure “is a key driver of economic development”.

 

He explained this while giving his opening remarks at the ongoing 18th edition of the PMB scorecard series.

 

“Critics of the Administration are wont to say that while it has done well in the area of infrastructure, it has not fared well in the area of the economy. With due respect, statements like this are borne out of ignorance”.

 

“Let me say that the Buhari Administration is ready to deliver another dividend of democracy to Nigerians. As you are aware, the much-ballyhooed Second Niger Bridge has been completed and will soon be commissioned. Well, I am happy to announce today that another highly-valuable bridge and road are ready for commissioning in the next few weeks”.
