The former governor of Central Bank of Nigeria(CBN), Professor Charles Chukwuma Soludo, has said that he stands by his statement that N30 trillion was mismanaged under the purview of the minister of finance and coordinating minister of the economy, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala.

“In particular, I insist that over N30 trillion has either been stolen, is unaccounted for, or grossly mismanaged over the last few years.

“This figure does not include the estimated $40.9 billion (N8.6 trillion at parallel market exchange rate or nearly two years’ federal government budget) which the African Union (AU)’s recent report claims to be “stolen” from Nigeria each year,” Soludo said.

Soludo said it was evident from the debates that emanated from his article that the country’s economic management will not be the same again.

“Once our managers know that the citizens will rigorously and vigorously challenge them to render proper account, the welfare of the citizens will be better for it,” he said.

The former CBN boss stressed that whoever emerges winner of the 2015 presidential poll has his work cut out for him.
