Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, says the Nigerian Government is identifying and sanctioning individuals sabotaging the economy. The minister noted that the removal of the petrol subsidy was one policy decision that all the three major candidates agreed on in their campaign messages. He said it was mystifying to see people who had argued stridently for the removal of subsidy now pretending to be against it, noting that such insincerity does not bode well for the country. Idris insisted that the President's policies are yielding positive results. He, however, said that the government was not under any illusion that the policies are silver bullets, or that nothing else is required. Stressing that the government will not allow its efforts to be jeopardised, the minister said regulatory and enforcement agencies have been working round the clock in the past few days to identify, investigate and sanction those involved in illegal activities and sabotage within the forex market
