‘Anyone complaining of hunger should go and work’ – President Buhari’s spokesman, Garba Shehu blasts Nigerians
In what seem like an insult to Nigerians, President Buhari’s spokesman, Garba Shehu has told all Nigerians complaining of hunger to go and work. Knowing fully well that even the workers who collect N18,000 Monthly can hardly eat due to the harsh economy under the government of his pay master, President Buhari.
Below are what he said in an Interview with Ben TV
Shehu said the current administration has invested in people and also infrastructure.
“Everyone complaining of hunger should go and work.
And you know that this is the only government that has introduced social investment schemes, we pay out now for the poorest of the poor,
the least they will get is N5, 000 and a lot of these jobs that are been created are from loans with little or no interest from the central bank, Bank of industry, Banks of Agriculture, Development Bank and the rest,” he said
“So, there is a lot going for people who really want to go out there to work especially in agriculture.”
Shehu said since President Muhammadu Buhari took office in 2015, he has devoted not less than 30% of the country’s annual appropriation to infrastructure.
The spokesman said the foundation for the country’s growth cannot be laid without proper infrastructure in place.
“The records are there for everyone to see that no government, no past administration in Nigeria has invested as much as we have done or let me say like we are currently doing in infrastructure development,” he said.
“From day one when he took power, the president gave a target of not less than 30% of annual appropriation devoted to infrastructure development. Without infrastructure, we can not lay the foundation for growth.
When this administration came to power, between 95 and 96% of public expenditure was going into overhead cost leaving only about 5 or 6% for infrastructure.
The allocation of 30% under this administration has led to tremendous improvement in the provision of infrastructure so far in the country.
Now there is a lot of work going on, building new rail lines and the rehabilitation of the old rail system networks, roads are been done all across the country, you only need to drive around to see for yourself.”
