Buhari also said that the previous administration could not save any money because of what he called a ‘wrong consumption culture.’
The President said this while speaking to staff of the Presidential Villa, Abuja, on Wednesday, June 22, 2016.
Buhari said "27 out of the 36 states couldn't pay salaries. This is a disgrace to Nigeria. It is a disgrace up till now most of the states cannot pay salaries. What happened to all we have gotten over the years? We look up and down, left, right and centre, what have we saved? There was nothing because we developed a consumption culture that we were not supposed to develop.”
