The National Publicity
Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, on Thursday
said the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari has the blueprints to
tackle Nigeria’s developmental challenges.
He noted that Nigeria has
enormous and critical challenges in many sectors especially in areas of health,
education and unemployment.
He, however, said
Buhari’s administration has worked out immediate, intermediate and long term
measures to tackle the challenges in all critical sectors.
Mohammed spoke on
Thursday during his 9th Ramadan Lecture in Oro, Kwara State.
He said Buhari’s
government would solve the problems even in the face of paucity of funds.
According to him, the
paucity of funds was caused by the fall in the price of crude oil, on which
Nigeria depends for most of its foreign exchange earnings.
He added that the paucity
of funds was caused by the alleged “unbridled and maddening corruption that has
seen public officers siphon public funds.”
Mohammed said, “I have
deliberately taken us through the grim statistics in the very key areas of
health, education, poverty and unemployment to drive home the point that we are
in trouble, as a nation, if we don’t act in a deliberate, concerted and
determined way to turn things around for the better.”
