President Buhari critics are ignorant — Lai Mohammed.

Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed has described those criticising President Buhari over the state of the economy as ignorant.

Speaking on January 12 at the ongoing 18th edition of the PMB scorecard series, Mohammad insisted that the government has done well in the past 8 years.

“Critics of the Administration will say that while it has done well in the area of infrastructure, it has not fared well in the area of the economy. With due respect, statements like this are borne out of ignorance.

This is because infrastructure is a key driver of economic development, meaning that when you are building modern infrastructure as this Administration is doing, you are actually putting in place the building blocks of economic & social development.

When you are constructing roads and bridges, you create jobs as you will employ workers, you trigger economic activities as you will buy sand, granite, cement you create a mini-economy around the construction site.
