Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, has stated the
current administration is working round the clock that its cabinet
members find it difficult to sleep.
Speaking when a delegation of the National Council for Women’s
Societies (NCWS) paid him a courtesy visit at his office in Abuja,
Mohammed said many critics of the government were unfair on them.
According to him, “We are very concerned about the welfare of
Nigerians and we are not sleeping; we are working day and night to
ensure that the country retraces its step,” he said.
“Many of our critics have been unfair to us because many of them know that we did not invent the problems we are facing today.”
Lai Mohammed averred that those criticisng the ‘Change Begins with Me’ campaign do not understand what it is all about.
On those who insisted that change has to start from the top, he said
members of President Muhammadu Buhari’s cabinet have been practicing
what they are preaching.
“People have criticised the campaign. Some have said that the campaign ought to start from the top.”
“We completely agree with them, but their criticism is because they did not understand the campaign.
“The campaign actually started from the top, because we are doing
what we are preaching. This is the least ostentatious cabinet you can
ever have.
“We are all living and showing good examples – we obey traffic rules,
we queue up at public places and get to work early and close late.”
He disclosed that the recruitment process of the 500,000 jobs which government promised had begun.
“The process for the recruitment has started,” Lai Mohammed said.
“About 1.2 million people applied and they classified them into
categories, including agriculture support officers, teachers, technical
officers and so on.”
