The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, has said the Federal Government will continue to take responsibility for the current economic situation in the country, even as he said he is aware of the harsh effect of the economic recession on Nigerians, stressing that the government is working towards ending the situation.
Lai Mohammed made the remark while delivering his keynote address at the 4th Commonwealth Public Relations Congress
He said, “We are not unaware of the harsh effects of the recession on the citizens. We share in their pains and we make no excuses as we continue to work round the clock to ensure that this tough time is quickly brought to an end. The good news is that the prognosis for a quick end to the recession is encouraging.
“As the saying goes, the recession is a bend in the road, not the end of the road. The challenge for us as a government is to turn the bend, and we are doing just that.”
He also commended Nigerians for being resilient in this prevailing harsh economic recession.
He added that the Change which the Buhari Administration promised was bound to come with discomforts.
He assured that with persistence on the part of the government and perseverance on the part of the people, there is definitely light at the end of the tunnel.
Lai Mohammed noted that the government is investing massively in infrastructural development, especially roads, railways, power thus creating jobs in the process, as part of efforts to pull the country out of recession.
