Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, says with oil prices
sliding to as low as $30 per barrel, the APC-led government will have to
downsize or prioritize on the promises it made during the election
campaigns. Lai said this to Channels TV
"When you campaign, you say you’ll do A, B, C, but when you win
elections, you’ll priotize. We were elected for a four-year period, not
for one year. Things, we hope, will not be bad all through these four
years.
We are still faithful to those promises, but as you
have rightly said, when we were campaigning, the price of crude was $100
a barrel. Today, its $30 a barrel, so definitely, we would have to
downsize some of the things we intended to do, or prioritize them but
this does not mean abandoning those promises”he said
