Oil price fall made Nigeria a poor country - PMB

President Mohammadu Buhari today Thursday stated that the sudden fall in price of oil in the international market is responsible for Nigeria's current poor state. He made this known while speaking at a meeting with the executive director of the
United Nations Population Fund and other UN officials at the state House Abuja.

“It has been a very difficult year for Nigeria. Before we came to office, petroleum sold for about $100 per barrel. Then it crashed to $37, and now oscillates between $40 and $45 per barrel. Suddenly, we’re a poor country, but commitment to transparency and accountability is not making people know that there is severe shortage.”he said
