Jigawa State Governor, Mohammadu Badaru
Abubakar said that Nigerians should no longer
blame President Muhammadu Buhari ‘s
administration for the current scarcity of the
foreign exchange, saying that the problem was
traceable to the fact that Nigeria ‘is a chronic
importer’
He said this while commending the Minister of
Communications and Digital Economy, Dr. Isa Ali
Ibrahim Pantami on the commissioning of 12
digital projects build by the Nigerian
Communications Commission, NCC, National
Information Technology Development Agency,
NITDA and other agencies under the ministry.

He insisted that President Muhammadu Buhari
should not be blamed for the hardship in the
country and the high cost of food items and
other goods in the market, stating that the
previous administrations failed to create a buffer
for the preservation of naira against dollar, hence
the scarcity of dollar in the money market and
rising cost of goods.
‘‘In the last five years of the previous
administration, oil was averaged at $100 per
barrel, our five year probably $50 per barrel on
average. At least with half of the resources
available to Muhammadu Buhari, we have achieved
a lot.
‘‘The ministry of aviation has completed 150
projects in four years and still counting with half
of the resources so is the same story in other
ministries. Today, we can proudly say, five years of
Buhari administration and five years of previous
administration if analyzed, I am sure it will be
confirmed that we have done well with lesser
resources available.
‘‘In trade and investment, we are increasing our
non-oil export by the day, a good strategy. And
again our Ease of Doing Business, we are
improving in the ranking, so many industries are
coming up.
In my state alone, we have seen industrial
revolution for export substitution. If we take the
statistics and compare them with the last five
years, I am sure we will see government of
President Muhammadu Buhari has done very well.
‘‘The ministry of works is constructing about
500 roads in housing, many projects are ongoing
across the country.
‘‘The problem is that there was no import
substitution, no clear agenda to be realized to
reduce import substitution during the last
administration. We kept making money without
savings, we relied heavily on importation.
“We blame Buhari but he did not cause drop in
oil price. We have to import with dollars because
the past leaders have been chronic importers, we
have to import everything we need. Not only
import, we rely heavily on available few dollars.
‘‘The foreign reserve was 29bn dollars when we
came in, we could not dip hand into the reserve.
This was the genesis of things being expensive. I
do not see where Buhari is responsible. He is not
responsible for drop in price of oil, we have to
blame past leaders, who know that oil can never
be stable.
“They had opportunity to dip hand in the reserve
and stabilize our currency but did not save for
the future and they have the audacity to
shamelessly accuse Buhari for high cost of
commodities.
‘‘Any fair minded Nigerian will know that
president Buhari has delivered on his mandate and
deserve our commendation. We have done
wonderfully well and will soon blow our trumpet for
people to see.
“Nigerians should come out with the truth and
stop listening to propaganda and trace our
problems to the roots. He is not the one who
killed the rabbit, he was asked to carry the dead
rabbit.’

This people have no clue what they are doing they are just in those positions for the fame, power and money attached to those offices

They should step aside and let people who have passion for the betterment of the place take over

But unfortunately Nigerians no get sense, they will use religion or tribe or even old age to garner support of useless Nigerians
