'Despite herdsmen killings, Nigerians are living together harmoniously' - Lai Mohammed

The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, has maintained that the Federal Government is committed to ending clashes between farmers and herdsmen.

Speaking to the staff of the Nigerian Embassy to the United States in Washington DC, the minister stated that the tempo of the killings arising from farmers-herders crisis was going down.

“Despite such crises as the farmers-herders clashes and communal conflicts, Nigerians – for the most part – are living together harmoniously. Nigeria is not at war,” he said.

The minister also urged Nigerians in the diaspora not to believe everything they read on social media about happenings in the country.

Lai Mohammed stated that the picture being painted in some circles of an ethno-religious crisis in Nigeria was far from the truth.
