Ministers didn’t shun US investment forum –Says FG

The Federal Government has said that Ministers who were invited to the US-Nigeria Investment Summit in Washington, DC, on 19 April 2018, did not shunned the forum.
In a statement issued in London on yesterday, the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said most of the Ministers who were slated to attend the event were not invited and were not in Washington, DC, at the time, hence the insinuation that some Ministers collected estacodes without attending the forum is baseless.
He said, ‘The Ministers of Agriculture; Power, Works/ Housing, Budget and National Planning did not get any invitation from the organisers, though they were listed among those who were expected to attend. The Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, who was invited, was with the President at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting ,CHOGM, in London, at the time of the summit, while the Minister of Finance, who was in Washington, DC, at the time, was there purposely to attend the 2018 Spring Meetings of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund”.
He stressed, “Though the Minister of Information and Culture, was invited to the forum, he wrote back to inform the organisers that he would not be able to make the trip due to conflicting schedules. It is clear from the foregoing that no Minister shunned the US Investment Summit and the reports being circulated in that regard are bereft of facts”.’
