Mohammed stated these  in Abuja while making presentation on 2019 budget proposals of his Ministry.

Apart from the presentation, the minister also defended the 2019 budget estimates before the Senate Committee on Culture and Tourism.

Chairman of the Committee, Senator Fatimah Raji –Rasaki, had taken on the minister on the N82million proposed for the Abuja Cultural Carnival 2019 when the carnival did not hold last year despite N62 million appropriated for it.

The Minister responded that the N62million appropriated for the carnival in 2018 was not fully cash backed.
