Lai Mohammed, Minister of Information and Culture, says
with oil prices sliding to as low as $30 per barrel, the APC-led government
will have to downsize or prioritize on the promises it made during the election
campaigns. Lai said this to Channels TV.
"When you campaign, you say you’ll do A, B, C, but when you win
elections, you’ll prioritize. We were elected for a four-year period, not for
one year. Things, we hope, will not be bad all through these four years.
We are still faithful to those promises, but as you have rightly said, when we were campaigning, the price of crude was $100 a barrel. Today, its $30 a barrel, so definitely, we would have to downsize some of the things we intended to do, or prioritize them but this does not mean abandoning those promises” he said
