She met separately with each of them in her office, in Abuja, yesterday.

It was learnt that the minister asked for a sustained cooperation and assistance from each of the organizations which have been undertaking various developmental projects and programmes towards the socio-economic advancement of the nation.

She was said to have assured the heads of the institutions in Nigeria that the President Muhammadu Buhari administration was determined to ensure a prudent utilization of all resources at its disposal and that it would treasure assistance from them.

Mrs. Adeosun was also said to have expressed federal government’s plans towards diversifying the nation’s economy with a view to paying greater attention to the solid minerals sector and agriculture, while increasing power sector capacity in order to create more opportunities in the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises, MSMEs sector.

World bank’s Benmessaoud was said to have told the minister that the organization has been a long-standing ally of Nigeria in her development efforts and that it would diligently work towards a successful implementation of all its projects in the country.

I THOUGHT THAT NOI BROUGHT IMF AND WORLD BANK POLICIES THAT WERE ALIEN TO NIGERIA AND SOLD NIGERIAN ECONOMY TO WORLD BANK AND FOREIGNERS. WHY ARE WE GOING THE SAME ROUTE AGAIN? WHY ARE WE BEGGING THEM TO COME AND HELP?

LIES AND PROPAGANDA WILL LAST FOR A WHILE BUT TRUTH SHALL ALWAYS PREVAIL AND STAND GIDIGBAA

Why giving her the benefit of doubt,but this is one appointee that doesn't inspire me @all.
To have even made her the finance minister is even more confounding.
Let's keep fingers crossed.

I want her to succeed. I love rooting for underdogs.

IMF and world bank have been collaborating with Nigerian government almost since independence so, nobody can reasonably accused NOI of bringing them to Nigeria. The accusations has always been that she allowed these institutions to dictate fiscal and economic policies to the country even when the policies are not in the interest of majority of Nigerians.

That the new finance minister asked for assistance and cooperation from them doesn't mean it will still be business as usual. They are development partners that can't be ignored and at the same, there must be a limit to how far they can influence the country's economical and fiscal policies.
