In his words, “When we came to power in 2015 about 27 states couldn’t pay salaries; we had to take tough decisions like giving them bail-out and Paris Club refund.

“These are tough decisions,” Mustafa said.

Speaking on importation of rice and fertilizer ban as a tough one of the tough decisions the government has taken which yielded positive results by boosting local production, among other things.

“Due to the establishment of many fertilizer blending plants after we banned the importation of fertilizer, the product is now available and the prize is going down,” Mustapha added.

The SGF also explained that Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Independent Corrupt Practices and Other anti-graft Related Offences Commission as well as the Code of Conduct Bureau were being strengthened to tackle corruption.
