According to the Nation newspaper, In a recent NTA television programme : 'Good Morning Nigeria', the information minister absolved the current federal government from infrastructural deficit in the country,  rather blaming the previous governments .

"The last administration spent only N5billion on power, this administration has spent over N90billion. When this administration came in May 2015, only 2690 megawatts was generated but today the country is generating over 7000 megawatts".

He urged Nigerians to judge the administration on  the contest of what it inherited from previous administration and where the country is today.

 The truth is that Pointless blame game will not bring the desired change promised to the electorates. The people want to see massive investment in public infrastructure to help create job opportunities. The power sector is about the most vital sector in today's economic transformation as a whole lot of industries depend on it including today's internet and liberation technology.

 Victory comes with responsibilities. Ordinary people want to see progress not blame games. The government has got almost two years before the next election to deliver on their promise of improving the lives of Nigerians, of which the power sector is a test case.

 A good government does not require four years to fix such a very important sector of the economy to drive development. The people want to see results not blame games.

Welldone, but please do more. We need urgent revolution in the power sector.

    Victory comes with responsibilities. Ordinary people want to see progress not blame games. The government still has almost two years before the next election to deliver on their promise of improving the lives of Nigerians, of which the power sector is a test case.

    A good government does not require four years to fix such a very important sector of the economy to drive development. The people want to see results not blame games.
