Buhari’s foreign trips not frivolous –FG

President Muham­madu Buhari’s foreign trips since assuming office are critical to the implementation of his administration key policies of enhancing security, jump-starting the economy, creating jobs and fighting corruption, the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Moham­med, has said.

In a statement issued yesterday in Abuja, the Minister said all the trips have been anything but frivolous, and that they have started yielding fruits in terms of turning the tide in the fight against the insurgents who have been most active in the North-east, attracting investments in the range of billions of dollars, and securing global support for the administration’s anti-corrup­tion fight.

“Nigerians, whether in the ruling or the opposition parties, have a right to ask ques­tions about the activities of their President, but it is abso­lutely important that they do so from an informed, rather than partisan or sensational, standpoint,’’ he said.
