The Minister said the current government will rather invest in infrastructural development which will translate to wealth creation.

Mohammed, who inspected the rehabilitated Ilorin-Jebba-Mokwa road project in Niger state on Friday, August 17, 2018 said the past government which shared money around left the country in a mess.

He said, “people are complaining of no money and high cost of living, but I want to tell you that it would have been worse today but for the massive infrastructural development this government is investing on.’’

Continuing, Mohammed said, “We are not a government that will share money like what others did which put the country in a mess.

“This government believes in investing in infrastructure because if you get this rightly, it will translate to wealth creation.

"People complaining about lack of money in circulation easily forgot that for 16 years, one political party was in power, sharing money, when this road became completely failed.”
