The Minister of Defence, Major Gen. Bashir Magashi , Tuesday, told the House of Representatives Committee on Defence that what Nigeria needs right now from the United States government and other foreign countries were prayers rather than issuance of security alerts which had confused the citizens.
Magashi said: “Other countries also are willing to do same. If you remember, yesterday, the security council met and we discussed this threat and it was believed that we will not take it lightly. We tried to verify the source of the threat or the pronouncement made by the US government.
Speaking through the Ministry’s Permanent Secretary Ibrahim Kana, Magashi said that the envelope budgetary system for the ministry does not give the minister direct influence on the segments of the budget.
