President Buhari today said the sudden fall in oil price in the
international market has made Nigeria to become a poor country. He said
this while speaking at a meeting with the executive director of the
United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and under secretary-general of
the United Nations, Babatunde
Osotimehin, at the state House Abuja today
August 11th
“It has been a very difficult year for Nigeria. Before we came to
office, petroleum sold for about $100 per barrel. Then it crashed to
$37, and now oscillates between $40 and $45 per barrel. Suddenly, we’re a
poor country, but commitment to transparency and accountability is not
making people know that there is severe shortage.”he said
