Nigeria's treasury virtually empty - Buhari

President Buhari says he met a virtually empty treasury when he assumed office. He said this while speaking with members of the state House correspondents in Aso Rock earlier today.
"I hope we are starting and this culture developed, of 100 days is bringing so much pressure with treasury virtually empty, with debts in millions of dollars, with state workers and even federal workers not paid their salaries. It is such a disgrace for Nigeria. I think Nigeria should be in a position to even pay it’s workers. This bad management that we find ourselves in, we really need your help to protect us from people before they match on us” he said

Stop complaining and start performing your magic, that was why you were rigged into power. You promised to stabilise the economy, oil price, make 1naira equal to 1dollar amongst other unrealistic promises. Please fulfil them ASAP and stop this complains!!!

ANYA IKENGA said...

We focused too much on federal 4geting that d rot pervades the states who also corner d LGA fund. We Buhari, deal with it or you restructure and do away wit LGA and give more power to states whlie revenue sharing becomes 50/50 between states and FG. The FG should concentrate on territorial protection viz armed forces. Leaving health, education, housing and certain infrastructure in d hands of states. Transportation/ aviation should be privatised and Legislature should be unicameral.

Okowright, you ought to be ashamed of yourself. You are a man but you sound like a foolish boy. Did he ever say in his campaign 'vote for me because I'm a magician??
I keep saying it's only people with low self worth/esteem that believe they don't deserve anything good in life that would still support someone like Jonathan that robbed our country to bankruptcy(our collective wealth) to enrich themselves. I bet you are still searching for work and praying to God everyday for a miracle in your life. But no, you'll rather choose your leader out of religious and tribal sentiments and continue in poverty. Believe me YOU ARE IN BONDAGE.

How do you implement change? Ain't it by spending and putting structures in place to support it?
Can that be done on zero funding? That's why they cry. It ain't Add. Math sweetie....

@Nnenne George..... u r just biased and sentimental for no good reason and you think the entity called "Nigeria" is a joke shey? Ebele and his cohorts failed Nigerians woefully and because he was d president/leader,he takes all the blame. PMB never promised us a "quick fix"! He's surely gonna do things differently and it will surely take sometime b4 we r start seeing/feeling d real "CHANGE"....#EbeleIsAMoron

Please build it up. Nigeria has been at war for many year. Besides while the treasury may be empty, the democratic institutions of which you are one of the destroyers but now first beneficiary is full and stronger than you destroyed it some decades ago. Honestly Sir, you are wasting time.

Enough of the complaints already. Empty treasury yet $20m has been transferred to fight boko haram, the government has been flying all around the world since May 29. This should not be a ploy not to pay 5k monthly allowance to the 20m poor Nigerians as promised during the campaigns. June don dey end, a beg credit their accounts. Nigerians are watching.

Please everybody read this comment. That's a person with plenty of sense talking. OBJ met debts when he came in and still left billions of dollars when he left and back then oil was $38/barrel, now GEJ came in met billions, oil was over $100/barrel and still put the country in a stagnant position. That's a failed administration
