Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has denied saying
”we don’t know who will sign the 2017 budget”.
A statement said that “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,” the statement concluded.
