Buhari says Nigeria is in Millions of Debts
Nigerian President, Muhammadu Buhari has revealed that he met a virtually empty treasury when he resumed office.
Buhari, while speaking during a meeting with State House correspondents to mark his first day in Aso villa, said that the former President Goodluck Jonathan left the country weighed down by debts running into millions of dollars.
He said, “This culture of 100 days (in office) is bringing so much pressure with treasury virtually empty, with debts in millions of dollars, with state workers and even federal workers not being paid their salaries.
“This is such a disgrace for Nigeria. I think Nigeria should be in a position to at least pay its workers. This bad management that we find ourselves in, we really need your help to protect us from people before they march on us.”
According to him, the appointment of Femi Adesina as his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, was because he had experience handling the media ahead of the challenges facing the government.
