Today, official<br \/>\nrate is N305 to $1.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was this same cluelessness that made one bag of rice that was<br \/>\nN7,000 as at the time Buhari took office to rice to as much as N22,000<br \/>\nand made more than 25 states to be unable to pay workers salary<br \/>\nregularly owing to dwindled revenue from the federation account.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAccording to the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), an agency of<br \/>\nthe federal government, the number of unemployed Nigerians rose from<br \/>\n7.51 million at the beginning of October 2015 to 11.19 million at the<br \/>\nend of September 2016! This was caused by Buhari\u2019s government<br \/>\ncluelessness.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLike I have said before, President Buhari and his men do not know<br \/>\nwhat to do. It is therefore left for Nigerians use their votes to show<br \/>\nBuhari and his APC the way out of the Aso Rock Presidential Villa in<br \/>\n2019.\u201d<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has questioned the rationale behind the Federal Government\u2019s\u00a0 hiring of consultants from Malaysia with the sum of N458 million to help Nigeria build her&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":59738,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-60232","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exclusive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Fayose slams FG over hiring of Malaysian economic experts for N458m, says;
