Wait till some chest beaters will flood thread to say she is not qualified to be the minister of finance while I keep wondering who is can be more qualified than this woman and they have achieved so far with thier qualifications in the past. Waiting for answers from the wailers! !!

palladin:
Economist wailers wont be impressed. But this is good enough for Nigeria and the economist can eat my dung.




Let me say end time cv before lasisi.

Gbawe:


Precisely what I said earlier. What constitutes "properly qualified" for them? I suppose, concerning African countries, one would be "properly qualified" according to the economists if you have worked for international organisations like the IMF or World bank. They are comfortable thinking that we are in the dark ages and that the likes of NOI have the appropriate" western 'orientation' and experience that would mean automatic success because they are 'westernised' and can think better than the "savages" they would be leading in Africa. "Teacher don't teach me nonsense" (Fela). We now know better in Nigeria. Local solutions for local problem abeg. Nothing wrong with Adeosun at all in my opinion.

OrlandoOwoh:

Could you tell us, in specific term, what exactly makes unqualified or why she should have be made a minister for state?

likila:

with what?
do you know how many drunkard ashawo auditors we have in nigeria?

yommyuk:
She lacks Senior management level experience in the public sector.However, her internal Auditing experience in the public sector should enable her to put some core control and checks systems in place which is obviously needed in Nigeria

StOla:



Before Okonjo Iweala, did we have foreigners as our finance ministers?

porka:
They should have appointed her the minister of state instead. That one doesn't demand for too rigorous econometrics modeling, advanced knowledge of macro-economics and experience in financial engineering.

As a minister of state for finance, she would be in charge of FAAC and no one would beam any searchlight on her. Nenadi Usman first understudied Ngozi Okonji-Iweala before Obasanjo elevated her. She was able to garner enough boldness, but even at that, she basically focused on paying local contractors all through her tenure.

What The Economist said is not different from what a former VC of a southwest state university said on a national television not long ago.

By making her a substantive finance minister of Nigeria in 2015, Buhari is just setting the country up for serious economic disaster and international mockery. She just doesn't have the capacity to manage Nigeria's economy yet. It's like appointing an assistant lecturer as a vice chancellor of a university.

The professor said there would be a cabinet reshuffle soon. Let's hope they will remedy this serious anomaly.

porka:


What do you mean foreigners?

Euro31:
She is not qualified for the job

tee4naija:

What are you trying to say. a minister is just a political head of a ministry. There are lots of qualified economists and financial experts as career officers in the ministry. Even if she has no background in economics, there are people who have been doing the job only for the minister to ratify.
Why don't we let her be. At least she was screened by the NASS which comprise of technocrats as well.

Ibime:


This is not an appropriate CV for a finance minister.

I am not a wailing wailer BTW before you think otherwise. I am firmly for Buhari

Remii:
how many of these list were harvard or so called world class guys? didnt they do better than the power pointers?

PassingShot:
The Economist or whatever they call themselves should be ashamed to label someone with this CV as unqualified for our Finance Minister.

Apart from the president who knows what he wants an FM to achieve for the nation, no other person is qualified to dictate who should be our Finance minister. Not USA, not World Bank, not IMF and surely not the yeye Economist.

With our madam Gele's over qualification on paper, was the economy not ruined under her coordination? It's obvious these Western countries don't wish us well.


I ask again, did NOI leave a robust economy despite unprecedented earnings?

Under her there was massive looting, indiscriminate waivers for luxury goods, failure to improve our savings, failure to diversify the economy, failure to boost earnings from other resources especially solid minerals, more debts to the nation, failure to be able to pay federal workers' salaries in March and April 2015, etc. I can go on and on. So forget her overhyped paper qualification. They may be good to get her a juicy job at the world bank but SHE FAILED with our economy.
