The Minister of Information and Culture, LAI MOHAMMED, has assured Nigerians that in spite of the current security challenges, the country is in safe hands.

The Minister, who gave the assurance while receiving the Oluyin of Iyin-Ekiti, Oba ADEOLA ADENIYI AJAKAIYE, on a courtesy visit to his office in Abuja, urged Nigerians not to succumb to the doomsday predictions about the country because such predictions won’t come to pass.

He appealed to leaders at all levels to give the people a message of hope instead of making comments that can only worsen tension.

LAI MOHAMMED stressed the critical role of traditional rulers in the maintenance of peace and security, saying they cannot and must not be ignored, as the nation seeks to restore peace and security across the country.
