Buhari’s Government Appears To Be Publicity Shy – Samson Itegboje

Nigeria has moved forward under the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration, in spite of the huge challenges it inherited, Amb. Samson Itegboje has said.

He said that the Buhari’s administration had been shy in publicising some of its achievements for the citizens to be properly informed.

“We are witnesses to the fact that prior to the coming of the government of President Buhari, the economy was almost grinding to a halt.

“In fact, President Muhamadu inherited a recessed economy waiting to happen.

“Boko Haram was running riots in the country and has even held sway in 14 local governments in Borno.

“Corruption had almost become normal and our infrastructure had decayed among others.

“But this government went to work and I must confess that the government appears to be publicity shy,’’ Itegboje said.

“It takes three years for a country to exit recession but it took this government less than one years and a half to exit recession.

“Foreign reserves have peaked at about 43 billion dollars, the highest level in about four years and up from 24 billion dollars just a year ago.’’
