With the current oil price, we have to proritize and downsize our promises- Lai Mohammed

 

 

The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, has said that with the current oil price at $30 per barrel, the APC-led government will have to downsize or prioritize on the promises it made during the election campaigns. He said this in an interview on Channels TV

 

His words

"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.”
