The Minister of Budget and National Planning, Udoma Udo Udoma, yesterday said the Buhari-led administration is not responsible for the current economic downturn. Speaking to state house correspondents at the end of the National Economic Council, NEC, Udoma said;
“We did not and are not responsible for the current economic situation we find ourselves. We are actually a rescue team, a team working to rescue Nigeria from the position we find ourselves in.
Under President Buhari, we are determined to take Nigeria out of the situation. The situation started long before we came. As you know, oil price started falling from 2014 when it was about $110 and by January this year, it was below $30. Unfortunately, they did not save. We are determined to take Nigeria from a consuming nation to a producing nation. That is why we are developing an economy recovery plan and that is our focus. We are committed to success.”
He disclosed that part of the rescue measures the government intends to adopt is to cut down on the retinue of political aides, size of their convoys, local and foreign trips amongst others.

Exactly,this administration is just a rescue team for 16yrs mismanagement and 6yrs of massive looting under Jonathan's administration. This present administration can't perform magic overnight but they will surely deliver Nigeria for good. It's easy to destroy a house but difficult to build. Nigerian will be great under PMB administration Insha Allah.
~glo rule your world~ cos I do•

Clueless Jonathan & co are responsible.
*******************Ekperima onu nsi!!!!! Who come cause am?????? Ikwuligba
Who asked you if you're responsible for it or not, go get us the change you blabbed, rubbish! The effectiveness of a govt is determined by the country's economy and the welfare of its citizens. #CluelessBunch
Who is responsible
How r u not responsible?? With ur stupid and senseless policies....
Long Live LIB
Oku eligwe gbaa gi dere
When your foolishness wants to shine!
Pa Buhari, its okay. U have tried your best. Just resign.
Ehmmm, you know they are not responsible at all. My grand father that died in 18th century is responsible and my father that died in 1988 was part of the people that are responsible as you know Buhari & co were not born then and some of them were yet to be ministers or senators then. Least I forget, my mother that died just last year is also responsible as she cooked all the oil money from Niger Delta before she died. We all know that APC as a party is a group of irresponsible people so how do we expect them to be responsible for anything. Shame on you Udoh Udoma. I am sure the late Hon Justice Udoh Udohma whose name you are trying hard to soiled would have rejected the offer of a minister in this shameless government of lairs and if he ever made the mistake of accepting the offer, he would have resigned but for you, greed will not let you see the path of honour. After serving two terms as a Senator, I still wonder what else you want to achieve. Stop disgracing our people because Akwaibomites are known to people of integrity. Tow the part of honour and resign and save your self from telling cheap lies.
Foolish statement from a stupid mouth
Una like excuse so much dat's my problem with this present government.
Lmaoooooooooo this government is still a baby.Thought this blame game is supposed to be over by now and actual work should be in progress. Ask yourself why Trump was elected! Was it not to correct the wrongs of Obama and build a greater USA?
Why was Buhari elected? It was to stop blabbing and apportioning blames and get to work already
what is the FG even saying? ,now is not even the right time to start saying who is to be blamed or not but strive to revive the economy,I just taya sef,everytym FG and wahala! abeg who heared of this New blog in pH www.joelwilliamsblog.com.ng
Still same story after 2yrs.this is gross incompetence. Let's see how much effort you put in yourselves. Nigerian s are not fools
This is very bad to hear this again from this administration, very nonsense and annoying talk!u shouldn't tell us this crab.
Obviously! Linda take note!

Ok...til 2019
@Galore
Which kind govment be dis abeg? You are not responsible? OK. Were you elected to fix things? YES!! Stop moaning about what d former administration did and did not do. If they had performed, you wouldn't have been elected.
Hahahaha this people self
To slap you just dey hungry me!
Your stupidity na follow come.
I love former president Obasanjo and Goodluck but what thos man is saying is the truth. Even Obama complained about the state of the economy he met until the end of his first tenure.
What else do you expect? It takes a responsible government to accept responsibilities, if youknowwhatimean.
This buhari's government is so Irresponsible. Since you can't own up to your incompetency, why not ask for help from competent hands. You are not responsible to the economic downturn, so why are you there?
Thunder will fire Buhari and apc for this hardship. Amen
Thunder fire that mouth wey u tey talk am!!!
I dnt blame u .... i blame dis stupid tinubu and his afonja descendant tribe for making history repeat itself
Irresponsibility of the highest order... Double your hustle
Irresponsibility of the highest order... Double your hustle
See this people o,so who is responsible?
Lib addict#just passing#
MR MAN SHUT THE FUCK UP!
It's quite evident that the past government is partially responsible for this current problems, even a former minister under the last administration mrs nkonjo iweala confirmed that the past administration failed to save for the rainy days when oil price were at all time high price of $100 per barrel... Corruption and ill planning was a major problem of the past administration and now it's fighting back and we the masses are suffering it.
Na me come cause am..u guys wont stop givin excuses everyday...oga do wetin u promised say u go do and stop complainin like a baby all d time...think forward n not backward...crazy sets of people...i cant blame ya all..if u sabi d kind tinkin wey dey my mind now u wont spit out wat u jst spit so
But wait o. More than half of the people in the past PdP administration are now part of this APC administration. So what exactly is responsible? The party or the ashawo politicians who jump from one party to another. Bia uncle Udo, biko keep quiet o, maybe not President BUBU but you were a senator during Obasanjos time... You were and still is part of the problem.
Nigerians can never encourage anything
Assuming the economy was doing well now they will come for the glory. Nonsense and childish talk! I tire for the Government.
Is the present APC not made up of the former PDP? Please Mr. Man, you and the rest of you incompetents should get to work and stop complaining. So Buhari expected to meet heaven on earth in the economy? Then why was he promising change if it was rosy? People voted him to right whatever wrong there is and not to complain for ever.
Freeborn is quite evidence that you not educated at all. When oil was selling at $110 per barrel compare to $30 now. All the money raise from oil, what did your man Jonathan and is criminal friends did with the money? If you don't have constructive comment to make you need to keep quite.
Brainless lot. No policies, no plans, no ideas. The Biafran economy was better than this
Lol yeye minister that couldn't not ans the budget figure when the question was thrown at him by the oyibo woman on CNN TV the other day, illiterates that filled buhari'S regime shame on you all
Anon 18;47 u r obviously the stupid fellow. Oil has been hovering around 50 dollars per barel girl sometimes now. Educated fuuuuu
