Nigeria’s President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, has
lamented over the failure of the outgoing administration to give the
incoming government necessary information needed for a smooth handover
next week especially with the ongoing fuel scarcity.
Buhari
disclosed this on Thursday when the All Progressive Congress (APC)
Transition Committee submitted an interim report of the committee to
him.
The president-elect said the aim of the committee was not to indict anyone, but to make adequate preparations for the task ahead, he said: “The incoming government was misunderstood. It is not that we are preparing for indictment. What we are trying to get is a starting point, where exactly we are going to start from.
We have
seen the debt profile now and the performance of the economy. The
question is, what can we do about it especially the urgent ones like
social security, lack of fuel in the country and fraud? The list is
endless. I thank you for what you have done and I hope that the
subsequent submission by the government will make your job easier and
more efficient and tell us where to begin from.”
Ambassador Ahmed Joda who heads the committee told the president-elect that the government committee has refused to provide his committee with necessary information to make better decisions especially with regard to the ongoing fuel scarcity.
He said that this has led the committee to rely on its initiative and assistance from the organized private sector, international development partners and members of the public.
Joda further noted that availability of useful tips from the government would tremendously help in the final report of the committee.
Buhari in his response thanked the committee members for their effort.
While both outgoing and incoming governments are trying to find out reasons and solutions to the current fuel scarcity, Nigerians have taken to social media to express their concerns about the issue.
