Nigeria Is Safe For Investment - Lai Mohammed

The Federal Government of Nigeria has responded to the challenge by the People Democratic Party and has released the list of those it described as looters of the treasury of the country.

The Information Minister, Lai Mohammed, during a conference in Lagos outlined the names of  the individuals include officials in the past government.

“The PDP has challenged us to name the looters under their watch. They said they did not loot the treasury. Well, I am sure they know that the treasury was looted dry under their watch. Yet they decided to grandstand. This shows the hollowness of their apology,” Mohammed said as he released the names.

The name of People Democratic Party’s Heavyweights, who are standing trials for corruption were included in the list.

According to Channels Television, the move by the APC-led Federal government to release the names of the alleged looters and the funds allegedly stolen by them is in response to the opposition party, PDP’s, challenge to the government to name those alleged to have looted the country.
