Kemi Adeosun thw Iweala wannabe has proven to be the most incompetent finance minister.
Pat Utomi was right in detecting that those that surround Buhari are total economic illiterates.

Having said that, I remember that Utomi was one of those that kept heckling Jona and Iweala. So Utomi is partly responsible for the current economic mess. I know he is stylishly trying to distance himself from this total mess, but it won't work. He even endorsed Buhari

Meanwhile, your fellow professor is vice president, sorry mere commissioner.

Saraki is wickked.

I think this man is loaded but somehow I don't really like him. I am not a fan of people whose loyalty sway so easily.

amaechi1:
That was a nice story, but I could not find where he mention a single solution. Hence, that makes him voiceless as well.

Secondly, in as much as he mentioned our leader, that does not solely mean he was referring to the FG alone. Every one is involved (state and FG).

Thirdly, I was disappointed he did not mention devaluation of the naira as solution to economist crisis. That is one quick solution some lazy economics usually put forward.

he delivered a lecture remember? u only saw d part d reporter/editor wanted you to see. don't conclude till u see d whole lecture he delivered.

idupaul:
Prof please stop wailing with style

Ngozi Okonjo Iweala spoke of Political will lacking in GEJ's government yesterday, today the Prof. is directing it towards the present government.

y

That is how all of them will b running their mouth, put them their they will do notting.

idupaul:
Prof please stop wailing with style

Prof speaks the truth, this govt means well, is 100 times better than GEJ but lacks vision.

There is no difference btw jimoh ibrahim and pat utomi...... Both good in theory professor class but in real practical aspect of what they preach, they are real failure......

This is serious

Every Political cclassMugus are interested in filling their Pockets.

Mr. Professor ! What is new. ....News..or Wonders

What are we not Talking About

Prof, truth is like bitter kola in 9ja o. Nobody wants to touch it.

Abeg face your job before they brand you IPOB, wailer, creek militant, PDP agent and more.

Does this include APC leaders who promised change?

He has two characteristics around which all other things revolve: he never criticizes the West and thinks that every problem in Nigeria would be solved by privatization. What specifically would he do if he were to be a minister in this government today? A lot of general statements without any specifics. He is another Fashola that, thankfully, we don`t have to worry about in government.

when the populace are dullards, tribalists, blinded by religion and do not appreciate good leaders it does not promote visionary leadership. A country always gets the leaders it deserves and it's leaders are usually always a reflection of the people.

nigeria is just in trouble...we really are in trouble...

Professor Utomi is one of the lazy class of politicians we have, too much talk, less action.

Professor Patrick Utomi, erstwhile Vice Chairman of Keystone Bank

Prof. Pat Utomi, renowned political economist and President of Lagos Business School, has taken a swipe on President Muhammadu Buhari’s government, describing it as being filled with men who lack vision and the political will to salvage the economy of the nation.

Professor Pat Utomi was speaking during the lecture organized by the School of Media and Communications on Tuesday, April 13, 2016 on the theme “Economic Survival in a Period of Dwindling Oil Prices”.

He said men who occupy the political class were lazy and interested in filling their pocket at the detriment of the people they were meant to serve.

He attributed the economic challenges being faced in the country to the visionlessness of the leaders at the helm of affairs, maintaining that rather than being people oriented, their programmes are repressive.

He faulted the developmental policy of the federal government as it is flawed with no clear cut blueprint for national development and growth.

According to him, “Nigeria a lazy political class that is not visionary enough to see the need to reposition the country in the right policies that will shore up growth and stability in our economy without the sense of playing selfish and dancing to personal gains and self-aggrandizement”.

He said corruption has created a custom of people with money without the thought or foresight to create jobs for its citizens, even as he insisted that the government of the day is more responsible for the rot in the country’s economy than moving it forward.

He also said the policies of the Nigerian government tend more to aborting national progress than enhancing the overall development of the entire country

Pat Utomi is not the president of Lagos Business School... always cross check facts!!

Nigeria a country where it citizens hate the truth,love suffering n smiling, even in a condition like this you people still expect everyone to praise this govt,,the question is did this man lie? how many of these ministers have hit the ground running since assuming office? what policy can you say they have to better the situation,,,this govt keep telling us that things will get better soon without showing us the policy they have laid down that yield that desired result,,for now this govt is a joke and the ministers are visionless for none is them is even speaking

Sibrah:
He told us about the visionlessness of those around Buhari. That doesn't need a detailed solution. Get men of vision and solve the problem.

And who are the men of vision?

dulux07:
Everyone jst dey talk der own. If u ve an idea, kindly voice it out instead of criticizing . At least nigeria does not belong to APC nor buhari, it belongs to all of us.

u say voice it out and u think APC will listen to you I could remember vividly when Ifeanyi Uba capital oil said he can bring dollar to 200naira if this govt give him a chance but have they done that

Yes ! Sooooooooo! Lazy to the extent that Ben Bruce eventually Lazyniased to TWEETER SENATOR

GBAM.

The educated ones are more mentally lazy than the political elites. They are the true definition of zombies.

Buhari is the most laziest of them all. Unfit for leadership in 1984 not to mention 2016.

I TOTALLY CONCUR. AND SUFFICE TO SAY THEY ARE SELFISH AND TOTALLY GREEDY BY NATURE.

We know that over times the politicians are lazy and d cos of the major failure of the economy, it is d improper choice of vote comin from the voters. We dont no how to vote d ritefull politicians. Lets what dis gvt will bring

The budget that can give them performance still get k leg with Saraki & Dogara's legislators we need to pray against those parading themselves as leaders who are vultures in reality.
