President Muhammadu Buhari has revealed that the Federal Government does not have enough money to fund its foreign missions as they should be funded.
Buhari called on Ambassadors to learn to do more with less, adding that their funding will improve as the economy gets back on its feet.
According to Punch, the President said this while addressing diplomats who were just confirmed by the Senate.
This was contained in a statement issued by the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to Buhari, Femi Adesina.
Buhari said “We are optimistic that the external factors that partly contributed to push our economy into recession will end in 2017.
“Until then, I regret that the resources available to fund our missions abroad will not be as robust as we would like.
“We are working hard to turn around our national economy by effectively reforming our macroeconomic environment through measures, some of which were outlined in my budget speech to the National Assembly last week.”
President Mohammadu Buharialso assured Nigerians that the 2017 budget will get the country out of the current economic crisis.

Clueless, Misguided, Islamic Driven president And Leader of An Uneducated And Uncivilized Cabinet. When You Fill Vacant Positions With Core Adherents Of Islam Irregardless Of Their Qualifications and Experience, But Just Because You All belong To the Same Ethnicity, Should You Then Have A Robust Economy? You Hate Anything That has To Do With Youths, And All Your Agendas Are obviously Islamic And Favors The Islamic Community.
You tell Bold Faced Lies, And Always Late To respond To Daring Questions When The Nation Demands An Answer For failed Promises, And Huge Disappointments. We Are Not Interested In Your Formal Speeches And Eloquence, You Have Failed As A Leader. You People In Government Are Just Annoying And Disgusting, Nigeria Is Not About A Group Of Families Selling Off Their Names As Political Figures In The Country, When There Is Absolutely Nothing That Has Earned Them That Recognition. Nigeria Is So Disgusting That A group of Families Are Now The Ones Dominating Politics In The Country, As If It Is A Royal Inheritance. They Are Destroying The Economics And Livelihood Of The Country, Impoverishing The Nation Despite Huge Revenue being Realized From Crude Oil And Other Commodities. The Federal Government Is Quick To Go Begging International Organizations And Foreign Countries For Aid And Loans, Only To Siphon Those Funds And Using Little Part Of The Loan Or Grant or Aid To Finance The Intended Purpose Of it In The First place.
