The Minister of Information and Culture, Lia Mohammed lamented that the N1.072 billion capital expenditure allocated to his ministry in the 2023 budget was not enough.
Mohammed said it will affect how the ministry will inform Nigerians and the world about the performance of President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration.
The minister said this when he appeared before the Senate Committee on Information on Tuesday to defend his ministry’s 2023 budget.
Mohammed lamented that the N1.072 billion capital expenditure allocated to his ministry in the 2022 budget was not enough, stressing that the ministry will face more challenges as the 2022 budget has been slashed to N345.64 million in the 2023 budget proposal.
