Kemi Adeosun, Nigeria’s Finance Minister Unfit For The New Job - The Economist by fun4: 7:09pm On Nov 20, 2015
Kemi Adeosun, Nigeria’s finance minister, is poorly qualified to manage the country’s economy, according to English newspaper, The Economist.

In its review of President Muhammadu Buhari’s
ministers, the newspaper described Okechukwu
Enelamah, the minister for trade and investment, as “a respected businessman”, but noted that he “may lack the clout to stand up to the president”.

“Africa’s biggest economy, which relies on oil
for 70% of its revenue, is sputtering as prices
fall. Economic policy has been adrift since Mr
Buhari came to power, and investors complain
about the central bank’s use of trade controls
and import restrictions,” The Economist said.

“However, the new finance minister, an accountant who cleaned up the books of one of Nigeria’s smaller states, is poorly qualified for the job.

“Her counterpart in the investment ministry is a respected businessman, but he may lack the clout to stand up to a president with statist leanings.”

The report quoted Shehu Sani, senator representing Kaduna central senatorial district, as saying: “It’s a government with local professionals and without superstars.”

Adeosun, who is expected to better Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, the immediate past coordinating minister of the economy, has over two decades experience in financing and capital management.

With an economics degree from the University
of East London and a post graduate degree in public financial management from the University of London, Adeosun honed her financing skills at Price Water Coopers and Chapel Hill Denham Management.

She was the commissioner for finance in Ogun
state, from 2011 to 2015, a post she was to
retain, before Buhari’s national call.

On the other hand, Enelamah initially trained as a medical doctor, but went on to qualify as a chartered accountant, earning an MBA from the Harvard Business School.

He is the CEO of African Capital Alliance (ACA),
which principally invests in Nigeria and countries in the Gulf of Guinea, and is reputed as the leading independent private equity firm investing in West Africa.

He previously worked at Zephyr Management
L.P., New York, and South Africa Capital Growth
Fund, Johannesburg. He also worked with Arthur Andersen and Goldman Sachs.

She's not qualified because she's currently not under their influence. And also because their probabilistic model failed to forecast her outcome, hence reasons to fault her recruitment into the position. Let's see what they'll say after 2 years
