Stella Okotete: Buhari Appoints Hairdresser As NEXIM Boss, Lawyers Demand Sack by kidap(op): 4:21pm On Dec 01, 2022
Buhari Appoints Hairdresser As Boss Of Financial Institution, Lawyers Demand Sack

President Muhammadu Buhari appointed executive director of the Nigeria Export-Import (NEXIM) Bank, Stella Okotete, is currently facing backlash over her qualification for the position.

On Thursday, December 1, legal practitioners of the Lawyers For Justice Reform launched an appeal during a press briefing demanding the immediate removal of Okotete.

As gathered by Legit.ng, the legal practitioners are seeking her removal because of a series of financial fraud allegations against her and her unqualified status as the executive director of NEXIM Bank.

Reeling out her resume, Aare Oladotun Hassan, the executive director of the group and secretary of the Epe Branch of the Nigeria Bar Association (NBA), said Okotete does not have the requirements to land her the job.

Hassan noted that a petition had long been submitted in 2018 seeking her removal despite considerable evidence by the senate committee in charge.

Stella Okotete's real qualifications exposed He said Okotete does not meet the criteria of 18 years of mandatory experience in financial matters, and 13 of the 18 years must be in the banking sector.

Hassan said: "Her relied well scripted and fraudulently concocted CV (Currently under scrutiny); which only has her records as a former Counsellor and beauty Salon Hairdresser and Spa Operator before her appointment to the most exalted position as the Executive Director of the apex financial institution regulating Nigeria's Exports and Imports Businesses: NEXIM BANK."

"In compliance with the Central Bank of Nigeria Act Regulations and Order 41(3) of the Senate Rule and by the reason for her lack of capacity not to have served in the banking service for 18 years and must have risen to the level of General Manager for two years, hence she is not fit and merit to continue to hold the Executive Director of the NEXIM BANK, we, therefore, call on President Muhammadu Buhari to act decisively accordingly."

Meanwhile, Hassan urged President Muhammadu Buhari to order the prosecution of Okotete for the alleged misappropriation of funds in her office.

Hassan stated that a deadline of Wednesday, December 7, will be given to the federal government, while failure to act will lead to litigation against President Buhari

Look at sexism and misogyny at its peak. Am sure there are female lawyers in the midst of the cacophony of clowns calling themselves lawyers, who have been bullied to join in this PhD syndrome.
Someone who ran and managed a successful business outfit that dealt in hairdressing and spa is not experienced enough to head NEXIM.
What does NEXIM stand for: is it not about export and import. Silly children, they think only an economist or financial expert should be appointed to lead financial institutions. Jokers

I am an Hausa Fulani boy from Sokoto State. There have been serious wind of change blowing across the north, especially my village here in Gidan Kaya. I am not so sure but I think we won't be so united in choosing a particular presidential candidate to vote for in 2023 but I see a lot of people spreading the Peter Obi message everywhere and I am also going to be Obidient

Re: Stella Okotete: Buhari Appoints Hairdresser As NEXIM Boss, Lawyers Demand Sack by alizma:
Stupidity is when you believe that Buhari appoint hair dresser as member of NEXIM executive.
I used to be a bricks layer but today I am a graduate doing well in my field, so if I get appointed to an important position tomorrow, someone who has refused to grow himself academically/professionally but living on past glory, believing that he is still the champion he used to be when I was a bricks layer will now come out to say how can a bricks layer be appointed to such position.
Fortunately for the woman and unfortunately for you that believed in this hair dresser story, the said woman must have left her place of years back

Temporary or permanent, it is counterproductive giving positions to persons who are not skilled for the position.

Nothing surprises me again as far as Buhari and his administration is concerned. Buhari once appointed people who've been dead for more than ten years into his cabinet.

Therefore, appointing hairdressers and Oloshos to head financial institutions is an upgrade. At least, they are alive.

Buhari is just a figurehead and a load of bullshit. 2023 maybe the last chance Nigerians have to save this country.

ObiDatti is the answer.
