Ghen Ghen! Ngige throws another bombshell. (What he says this time will shock you)

The Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr Chris

Ngige, has stated that “job seekers”, who lostchris-ngige-picture

out in the bid to become ministers, are the ones

piling pressure on President Muhammadu Buhari,

to change his economic team. Speaking with newsmen in Enugu at the

weekend, the Minister stated that calls for a new

economic team to steer the country out of

recession is propelled by job seekers and echoed

by their friends in the media. He disagreed with comments in some circles that

the President should change his economic team

as a result of an alleged inability of the federal

government to pilot the nation out of the current

economic recession.

Ngige argued that this country entered recession

a long time ago before the Buhari government

came on board but nobody noticed it because of

the huge foreign reserves accumulated by

former President Olusegun Obasanjo, which has

now shrunk to $21billion as a result of the crash in oil prices. According to him, “Under the previous

administration, the oil price was about $115 per

barrel and the country exhausted its 2.2 million

barrels daily quota of crude oil export. “But when this government came, the price of

oil dropped to as low as $30 per barrel. It later

came to $50 per barrel, but because of activities

of those blowing up oil pipelines in Niger Delta,

we could not export our daily quota of 2.2

million barrels. We are now exporting about 1.2 million barrels,” Ngige said.
