Ok.... Sir, are you sure you're doing what you're been paid for or you're just collecting pension before retirement

ok.

Good

Congratulations to him. I wish him the very best as he deploys his wealth of experience to the service of the country.

Nice one

I need his contact. Got something big to discuss with him.

Economic adviser to the v.p
Yoruba ti take over

Nice profile

Abeg make una advice PMB very well cos the way our economy is nose diving in the recent time is worrisome.
No sane human being will come and invest in this type of economy when our Naira value is tumbling
on a daily basis

An old adviser to an old man

Presidiot Buhari spent more than a year employing special advisers on new media and propaganda.

There are currently 5 or so special advisers on propaganda, in the mind of the dullard, propaganda is more important than the economy.

I hope he isn't too rigidly and obstinately aligned with the UN and IMF economic theories, jus like Ugonzi Okonja Iweala, the overrated cluelessly brainless one who reigned as minister of Finance for 8yrs put together and ran the nation's economy aground in the long run.

Ok

Afonja? No wonder

Noted, same set of people. not surprise though.

Truly the President need adviser like him judging from his profile or probably CV

AND?..................

Dull man

In African Chinas Voice:: Mr Adviser, Advise am well..

Yoruba economists can never move this country forward. See how prosperous the country was from the time of Obasanjo to jOnathan when the great Igbos were in charge, despite the so called corruption.

Smh

Hope he listen to his advice cause buhari tinks like a dullard. Which makes him a President Buhari

What would this guy do now to raise our foreign earning?
Some iyots in Nigeria are only here to insult. If you ask them the economic solutions. They would look more confused than Mr President.
What a shame!

Foreign earning is the least of our problem right now, the economy is in serious shambles. Buhari should get it back on track first, at least to the point of production rather than consumption, then we can talk about foreign earning.

wait! this is confusing. the UNECA website say he is SA to Vp while op says he is SA to PMB. which one do we believe? but if he has been the SA to VP for the past one year as the website suggests, then he has not been advising well, given the current economic realities. look elsewhere......
