In the last 28 years, she served in several accounting and public finance management positions in the Nigerian economy especially in the telecommunications industry at the time the Nigerian public and private sectors depended solely on NITEL for Communication services.

From the rank of Deputy General Manager in charge of Corporate Treasury in 2002, she moved to Nigeria Mobile Telecommunications as General Manager Finance in September, 2005 and later became Chief Finance Officer of MTEL.

She was appointment as the Managing Director of Kaduna Investment Company by the Executive Governor of Kaduna State in March, 2009 to help Kaduna State define, plan and implement an accelerated industrial development programme. This was the position she held until her appointment as member of the National Stakeholders Working Group (NSWG, the Board of NEITI) and later the Executive Secretary of Nigeria Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (NEITI) in October 2010.

She is not the new finance minister. She was only asked to oversee the activities of the ministry in the absence of Kemi until the gap is filled by appointing new minister from Ogun state. Zainab is the current minister of state for budget and national planning.


Lalasticlala Mynd44 where in your eyes did you see that Buhari made her new finance minister? Or are you also Carrier of fake news? Here is the statement from Femi adesina below. She is still the minister of state for budget and not finance minister.
