Nigeria’s Minister of Information, Alhaji Lai Mohammed has debunked the claim that the West African country is not safe.
Mr. Mohammed who served as the Publicity Secretary of the
APC before his ascension as Minister informed business people that
Nigeria is safe for investment, telling them to ignore what he termed as the demarketing campaign
being waged against the country by the political opposition.
The Minister made this known at an Investors’ Fair, tagged “Africa Walk”,
organized by the UNICORN Group in its Lagos Campus.
According to Mohammed, lies were being
promoted by those against the Muhammadu Buhari administration, even as he
insisted that it is not true that Nigeria is a war zone or there is religious
persecution in the country.
In his words:
“We were elected on the three pillars of the economy, security, and anti-corruption.
“We have not left any stone unturned to turn things around despite the numerous
challenges,” he said.
Lai Mohammed averred that terrorist group, Boko Haram was controlling a large
swath of territory in the North-East before the current government.
The Boko Haram sect and Islamic State’s West Africa Province (ISWAP) have been
“severely degraded”, he added.
“We are also tackling banditry with the same vigour with which we have taken on
Boko Haram and ISWAP.
“It is a matter of time for bandits to be decimated too”, Mohammed assured.
