You know that there are groups and agencies working with the Federal Government on that.
There is also the Danjuma Committee set up to ensure that their plight is attended to.
There are international organisations working in concert with the Federal Government on that, all I want you to know is yes, the issues of IDPs are being tackled.
It is a major issue that is being attended to.
How far about the MoUs signed by President Muhammadu Buhari on his recent trip to China, has it been rested?
We came back from China with potential investments in excess of about $6billion dollars and it is work in progress now because it’s a process.
We have signed the Memorandum of Understandings and we must come up with counterpart funding, which was what the Jonathan administration did not do.
They signed most of the MoUs but they didn’t do their own part of funding. This government, despite the paucity of funds, will do its part.
We have heard that the railway transport programme resuscitated by the immediate past administration will come on stream by July; can you throw more enlightenment on that?
Yes, the Ministry of Transport is in a better position to tell you.
But I am aware because I have heard the Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi saying that it will come on stream soon, so it’s a good development. Nigeria is making progress.
That shows you the benefits of continuing with the policies and projects of the previous government because that was a project inherited and it was taken forward.
A petty government could have come and discontinued it, no it was taken forward and we are in the verge of launching it.
It shows you that government must always be large-hearted, broad minded enough to continue the good things it inherited.
You have been with the President as one of his media aides in the last one year, how would you describe your experience so far?
Fulfilling. I came to do this work in the first place because it is the President, the person of the President brought me.
I am not a person that wanted to work in government but the person of the President was the attraction for me and I am happy doing it.
I will serve him any day.
