The Federal Government on Sunday blamed the poor state of the country's economy, especially the depreciation in the naira exchange rate, on what it described as incomprehensible mismanagement of the economy under the immediate past administration of the People’s Democratic Party ( PDP).
Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said in a statement that the mindless looting of the national treasury under the immediate past administration, was responsible for the increasing weakness of the naira against the United States dollar.

Muhammed apparently responded to a statement credited to the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekwerenmadu, which suggested that businesses may collapse in the next six months because the Buhari Administration has mismanaged the economy.
The minister said it was the clearest indication yet that the PDP and its leaders were still in denial about the massive body blows they inflicted on the Nigerian economy.
