President Muhammadu Buhari during an interview with Talk With Al Jazeera during his visit to Qatar spoke on the Forex crisis in the country.
When asked by the interviewer about the inability of parents with children schooling abroad to purchase forex at affordable rates to keep their children in school.
President Buhari said, “Not every Nigerian can afford it and the country cannot continue to subsidize the forex needs of everyone.”
Reminded by the interviewer that his own children school abroad, President Buhari said “I can afford it.”
The Al Jazeera anchor then asked, “So it’s their tough luck then?” in reference to those Nigerians who are unable to afford the school fees. The President simply responded by shrugging his shoulders. (Nigerian Bulletin)
