Good profile.

Na wa ooo only when we thought we have seen it all anyway, he who the gods want to kill, they make him...

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.
