The Federal Government says for anyone to declare Nigeria a failed state on the basis of its security challenges, is “preposterous’’
The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed stated this in response to a recent declaration by the Council on Foreign Affairs in the U.S. that “Nigeria is at a point of no return with all the signs of a failed nation’’.
“Declaring any nation a failed state is not done at the whims and caprices of one or two persons, no matter their status. “Yes, the Council on Foreign Relations is a prominent U.S. public policy Think Tank, but its opinion is not that of the U.S.“Like former U.S. Senator Daniel Moynihan said, ”You are entitled to your opinion but not your facts”.He listed the criteria to include inability to provide public service and inability to interact with other states as a full member of the international community.
