Amid economic crises facing Nigerians, the Governor of Plateau State, Caleb Mutfwang, on Monday, lamented and blamed the situation on the last administration led by ex-President Muhammadu Buhari.
Speaking during the swearing-in of 22 Special Advisers and heads of government agencies at the Government House in Jos, Mutfwang said Buhari left the country’s economy in terrible shape for his successor, President Bola Tinubu.
Mutfwang said the nation is at a very difficult juncture in the history of its existence, advocating for good governance after the election.
The governor announced plans by his administration to set up a special agro-processing zone in the Barkin Ladi Local Government Area in partnership with the African Development Bank to the tune of thirty million dollars.
He called on the new appointees to brace up for the challenge to enable his administration to reverse the ugly situation for the good of the people.
Mutfwang said, “We are at a very difficult juncture in the history of this country and I’m an advocate that after the election you forget politics and face governance.”
“And even though the Federal Government is being led by a party other than my own, I owe you the duty to tell Nigerians the truth that this government inherited a worse situation than 1999.”
“This government inherited an economy where we simply printed money up to the tune of N30tn and shared.”
“This government inherited an economy where the crude oil we’re yet to take out of the ground had been sold in advance.”
“So, when you’re talking about the fall of the naira, it’s not rocket science. We sold our future under the last administration.”
