The Minister disclosed this while answering questions at a press conference in Abuja on Monday.
He said, “I can say without hesitation that, though Nigeria is facing security challenges, the situation is far better than what we met in 2015.”
He explained how daily bombings by Boko Haram members were being witnessed in about 12 states, including Abuja before the inception of the President Muhammadu Buhari administration.

“There is no doubt that we are much better than how it was,” he added

Faulting Mohammed’s remark, Fayose lamented that the All Progressives Congress, APC, government had failed to protect Nigerians.
In a series of tweets, the former governor wrote: “As Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed has lost his moral obligation to Nigeria and its people.
“He is no doubt a Minister of Misinformation. He is not only a lying Mohammed, he is evil Mohammed.
“At 69 years, it is a shame that he carries evil in his brain and vomit evil words through his septic-tank-like-mouth.
“It is a regret that at 69, that Evil Mohammed can open his mouth to defend insecurity in the country, comparing the situation now with what was obtainable in 2015.
“Unfortunately, this present APC govt has failed to secure Nigerians, with Aso Rock Villa fast becoming the only secured place in the country.
“Nigerians are not interested in comparing what happened before 2015 with what is happening now. Rather, they are interested in a secured country where they can carry out their daily activities without fear of being killed or kidnapped.”
