Federal Government has said that the President Muhammadu Buhari administration is working and that the results are showing in the various sectors of the economy.
The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, was quoted to have stated this at the 4th Annual Conference of the Association of Communication Scholars and Professionals of Nigerians in Kano on Wednesday.
A statement signed by Mohammed’s media aide, Mr Segun Adeyemi, said the minister noted that pulling Nigeria out of recession was not by accident.
“Taking Nigeria out of recession did not happen by accident. It is the culmination of months of hard work by the administration and fidelity to its well-articulated economic policies, especially the Strategic Implementation Economic Recovery (2016) and the Growth Plan that was launched on 5th April, 2017,” he said.
He said the administration also made impacts through the National Home Grown School Feeding Programme, which feeds 3,065,000 pupils in 14 states and has employed 36,000 cooks across the country; the Conditional Cash Transfer that has seen about over 30,000 households benefit from the N5,000 monthly stipend; the Government Enterprise and Empowerment Programme under which about 120,000 people have benefited from the cooperative loans; and the N-power that has employed 200,000 people.
