Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, on Tuesday, said the Federal Government is unable to implement the capital votes of the 2017 budget because of lack of funds. The declaration by Mohammed was coming 24 hours after the Minister of Finance, Mrs Kemi Adeosun, told foreign visitors that the Federal Government would soon release N750 billion to fund capital projects in the 2017 budget.

Speaking during the 2018 budget defence session, at the Senate, on Tuesday, Mohammed said;

“it is not that government is deliberately withholding releases to fund the 2017 budget or starving us. It is because we do not have enough money to do that. “When budgets are made, they are made based on certain assumptions and if you are not able to get enough to meet your assumptions, there will be poor release.

“At least, there is an improvement in different sectors like the Nigeria Customs Service, while the price of crude oil is getting better. There is also more peace in the Niger Delta. So we can produce more,” .

The minister also told newsmen after appearing before the Senate Committee on Tourism that President Muhammadu Buhari was currently spearheading a programme where Africans, including Nigerians, would not need a visa to visit other African nations.

According to him, once the visa regime was liberalised, tourists would be encouraged to visit African countries. The minister said there was an improvement in visa regime in the country, adding that the current “visa on arrival programme” recently introduced by the Federal Government was working well.

“Anybody who has been observing what is happening in the creative industry, including culture, film industry, and fashion, will see that there is remarkable transformation and that is because the government has provided the enabling environment.

He also urged fellow Nigerians to contribute their own quota in making Nigeria great. I wish the looters and yahoo boys can turn a new leaf and return those money to be used for the growth and boost of the economy, he said”.
