The Federal Government has refuted allegations that it has been overwhelmed by the insecurity spreading across the the country, insisting that not all conquests against terrorists are in know to the public.
Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, made this declaration while responding to a question on insecurity after the Federal Executive Council meeting presided over by President Muhammedu Buhari, held at the Council Chambers in the State House in Abuja.
He blamed the media for providing oxygen for terrorists by publishing their activities on the front page of every newspaper.
He however, confirmed the attack on a military base in Birnin Gwari area of Kaduna State on Tuesday when 11 soldiers were reported killed by terrorists, but insisted it was repelled and that the terrorists suffered heavy casualty.
Mohammed, while responding to a question on the worsening economic situation in the country, blamed the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) for laying the foundation for hunger currently being experienced by Nigerians.
He, whoever, explained that despite the various challenges the current administration is doing everything within its power to address the situation.
