Now tell me,what is the relationship between a lawyer and budgeting? Have you ever heard of putting square peg in a round hole? Or you think it's all about acquiring a degree? For your information, as a degree holder, you function well within the purview of your field of study where have indebt knowledge.

Please what is the thing you wrote there that I've etched in red?

Later on, you would claim to be a university graduate.

Udo udoma has extensive knowledge being a former chairman of the securities and exchange commission, chairman of UAC and Unilever.

He's a former Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

It is called ministry of budget and planning.

You half-educated lot don't understand administration .

You lot fail to realise how many investment banks with portfolio far greater than the country's budget are headed by lawyers and engineers.

My friend hide your head in shame or better still read a book and travel widely.

Choi.

Please ignore the fool, he is southern illiterate, World Bank is currently headed by a pharmacist. The op is being myopic as their years of experience is just as important. Many Nigerian youths will end up not practicing what they studied in University.

But honestly none of these lawyers is doing anything extra ordinary. The biggest disappointment is the so called minister for justice. May be they should have used an ex banker instead of a lawyer since many lawyers are appointed to virtually every other ministry.

academic qualifications cannot be overlooked or downplayed...


if getting a proper education is easy, then try ignorance...


but in Nigeria, everything is upside down... if you doubt me, just look at PMB...
