Lai Mohammed Waves Off Public Outcry Against His N13m loan for China visit

Nigeria's Information Minister, Lai Mohammed, has dismissed the public outcry against a document revealing his demand of a N13m loan from the National Broadcasting Corporation, NBC.


According to him, those who leaked the letter “are making a mountain out of a mole hill.”

“Nigeria was invited to the International Conference on Tourism. A memo was raised to National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) for special advisers, directors, other key officials and I to attend the conference. In fact, I have a personal Invitation from the Information Minister of China.

“So, we decided to obtain a loan from NBC, one of the parastatals of our ministry, a loan which will be paid back, of course. I am surprised that this has become a subject in the public domain," he said on Radio Continental.
