President Muhammadu Buhari is tonight hosting his maiden Presidential Media Chat since assuming office on May 29 this year.
The challenges confronting Nigeria – insecurity, the economy, corruption, dearth of infrastructure – are still largely the same issues the last administration grappled with.
The presidency promised in the past to entertain questions from Nigerians via telephone, although the phone failed to work during those episodes of the programme.
Critics believe the phones were programmed not to work as a way of blocking citizens from asking the president embarrassing questions.
AS a matter of fact there are a lot of issues that Nigerians will want to get clarified. when will the Chibok girls returning?
We have brought you some of the highlight of the chat.
President Buhari appeals to Nigerian journalists to do more investigative journalism about important national issues.
Regarding the continuous detention of Sambo Dasuki and Nnamdi Kanu: Buhari said, "If you see the atrocities those committed against this country, we can't allow them to jump bail."
Buhari: "The Minister of Finance and the Central Bank have to sit down immediately to look at ways to help students who are already outside the country to overcome the challenges posed by the foreign exchange limitation policy.
President Buhari says foreign exchange will be made available to the productive sector of the economy and not for luxury items
The process of government agencies earning monies and spending them and giving government change will have to stop. All government monies have to be paid to the Federation Account and a budget submitted for their operations.
more of these will be brought to you
Stay at home ... we are at home
