The National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has said the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari has the blueprint to tackle Nigeria’s developmental challenges.
He noted that Nigeria has enormously and critical challenges in many sectors especially in areas of health, poverty, education and unemployment.
He, however, said Buhari’s administration had worked out immediate, intermediate and long term measures to ameliorate the challenges in all critical sectors.
According to him, the paucity of funds was caused by the fall in the price of crude oil, which Nigeria depended on 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 ferreting away 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.”
He said that while Nigerians had made history by voting for the APC to take over the reins of power from a ruling party, the Peoples Democratic Party, that held sway for 16 years, they must now follow up by ensuring that the process of change – which they brought about – came into fruition.
