I Never Said FG Doesn't Know Who Will Sign 2017 Budget - Minister


Our attention has been drawn to a story in a section of the media

quoting the Honourable Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai

Mohammed, as saying ''we don't know who will sign the 2017 budget''.


This quote is a malicious misrepresentation of what transpired at the

post-Federal Executive Council Meeting press briefing on Wednesday, 17

May 2017.


When the Minister was asked a question relating to the signing of the

2017 Budget, his response was: ''When it is transmitted to the

Presidency, the issue will be addressed.''


Anything beyond that response amounts to deliberate mischief and

should be ignored.
