Lai Mohammed disowns ministry’s N398m Votes For Computers

Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed yesterday disowned the N398 million his ministry voted for the purchase of computers in their 2016 budget. During the defence of the ministry's 2016 budget before the Senate Committee on Information, Lai Mohammed said the N230 million and N168 million voted for the purchase of computers for the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) and the National Film and Video Censors Board was strange to him


“No, that is not possible. That was definitely not what was proposed, this cannot be,”he told the Senate Committee members.
An official of the ministry who spoke said only N5 million was proposed for the item in the original budget of the NFVCB. A member of the committee, Senator Ben Murray Bruce, expressed his displeasure at the development surrounding the ministry's budget and also queried the fact that the needs of those in the North East were not considered in the budget.

According to Murray-Bruce, effective communication of events in the North East to residents in that region is very important. He said Radio networks and Television stations can be effectively used to manage the crisis in the North.
“It would have made more sense for the information budget of the Army to be given to the Ministry of Information to equip these stations manned by NTA and FRCN used by the military as a source of communication. For instance, if there is going to be an air raid in a particular area, we can warn the citizens to stay off that particular area. The media can be used like when Buhari did in 1983 for War against Indiscipline, War Against Corruption, so National Orientation should use the medium that we have. NTA is a phenomenal network, it has more assets than any station in the whole of Africa today, NTA must be worth 400 million dollars in the open market today.”he said

God is a Good God. that money can purchase about 5,000 computers is it that since democracy started PDP administration never bought computers for the sectors. Leaders that care for their people will not waste such money, instead will empower the citizen to manufacture such in her own country and export than appearing behind the mask stealing money. God save this nation sha. APC please dont disappoint this Nation we take God beg una.

Please, which aspect of this year budget is real and correct as of now? I support the idea of withdrawing the budget and looking into it page by page. Also, the budget ministry should be sanctioned for this embarrassment.

You people are so surprised about this budget drama. But people like me are not surprise because anywhere lair lai mohammed follow Na corruption and deceit follow there. Om a real sense if at all the price of oil is dropping in the international market then we will fall back to Agriculture. But why will the ministry of information receive more money than that of Agriculture on the budget? Buhari and APC just use the ministry of information to say thank you to liar liar mohammed for the role he played in bringing APC to power.

#budget of corruption. From the time the budget was stolen, to when it was found, to padding and Piling of the budget which leads to all these inflation from every corner. I clearly believed now that, A.P.C is a pure scam! BUSAYO say so.
