Yale University has been petitioned to withdraw the honorary doctorate degree awarded to Nigeria’s Minister Of Finance, Mrs Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala. The university was asked to take this step days after awarding the degree having been convinced it was undeserving. Read the citations or the degree and against it below.

“YALE UNIVERSITY GAVE ITS PRESTIGIOUS HONORARY DOCTORATE DEGREE TO AN UNDESERVING NIGERIAN”:Ngozi Iweala, the outgoing Nigeria’s finance minister was awarded a honorary doctorate degree by Yale University on May 15, 2015. The citation from the Yale University reads: “Ngozi Okonjo- Iweala, Doctor of Humane Letters.

You are a citizen of your country, your continent, and the world. Shaped by challenging experiences during your childhood in Nigeria, you have made social and economic reform your mission. As Nigeria’s coordinating minister of economic development and minister of finance, you have tackled corruption, created a vision and path to long-term economic stability, and worked to build a culture of transparency. At the World Bank, you made food security a priority and provided policy advice and capital for the world’s poorest countries. With wisdom, a fierce dedication to doing what is right, and unflagging energy, you have transformed the economic landscape of your nation. We are proud to name you Doctor of Humane Letter”

Below is the citation against the Degree:

This citation from the Yale University does not reflect nor represent everything that has happened under the watch and the supervision of the Nigerian economy by Ngozi Iweala as the nation’s finance minister.

There is no tangible evidence of any economic development in Nigeria under the leadership of Ngozi Iweala in all reality. Nigeria’s economy is still an oil-dependent economy that is debt and borrowing ridden as well as 100% consuming and importing in nature.

Nigeria’s debt profile has risen rapidly under Ngozi Iweala and Nigeria has borrowed over $2 billion in the last four months alone to pay salaries of the federal and state civil servants.

Our foreign reserves and excess crude oil accounts have both depleted heavily under Ngozi Iweala.

The recurrent expenditures in the federal budgets reached the highest levels which made capital development practically impossible in Nigeria under Ngozi Iweala.

The board of regents of this ivy league school missed it completely by awarding their prestigious honorary doctorate degree to an undeserving Nigerian in all truth, honesty and reality. The Nigeria’s economy has remained the same under Ngozi Iweala without any evidence of its diversity from oil.

The Nigerian Naira crashed to its lowest value in its history under Ngozi Iweala. The true picture that Yale University missed is the fact that the economy of Nigeria has almost grounded to its final halt today which will makes its a daunting task for the incoming administration of General Muhammadu Buhari to meet its campaign promises.

The menace of official corruption and financial scandals have both reached their peaks in Nigeria under Ngozi Iweala. A central bank governor was fired for disclosing that $20 billion was missing from the federal coffers and this allegation was investigated in a shady and questionable manner.

The oil subsidy scam that cheated Nigeria’s tax payers of trillions of Naira was coordinated and supervised by Ngozi Iweala.

The culture of official corruption and state resource mismanagement were both honored, celebrated, protected and defended under the leadership of Ngozi Iweala as the supervising coordinator of the Nigerian economy. To give a honorary doctorate degree to an undeserving Nigerian by this world’s reknown university is the biggest slap on the faces of the 180 million Nigerians in 2015. I am using this social medium to appeal to the board of regents of this prestigious university to withdraw this honorary degree that they awarded to this Nigerian immediately and without any further delay for the sake of posterity.

The level at which some individuals can degenerate to just to subvert justice and run down a hardworking woman as Madam Ngozi Okonjo Iweala just to score some miserable political cheap points is demeaning and really demonic Congats to NOI.....haters hug a wet transformer asap!

Doctor of Okonjonomics. See her cheek

Threads like this remind me that Buhari has a lot to do to address the unemployment situation.

Had this award gone to the minister for Agriculture, Adesanya, these campaigners would've supported it on ethno-regional grounds.

Some section of the country think their power to lead online battle/protest against their competitors is legendary and can go unchallenged.

It's time this obsession be put to a stop.

Madam puff puff has entered one chance on this one !!!!

Dont be suprise dat dis writer may not understand wat economy is but let me say smth, I think wot we fyt for is differences in tribe...this wrte up must not be made by smone of the same tribe with Okonjo, check the writer if you doubt me.

Yoruba people and stupidity. Smh! It's sickening

Very very jobless my brother.

Thought she grew up abroad? Harvard university?

I see many people viewing this tribally,But as a Nigerian is that writer's claim wrong? A home base Nigerian will agree that the writer is 99.9% right.

if she was from the coward tribe they would have showered praises on her but since she is not they and their worthless brother the owner of sahara desert have decided to label her bad....nonsense!

Nigerians are Tired of celebrating criminals

Lets leave tribe out of dis issue! The question we should ask is...1) is the economy get better?2) what is the level of corruption now compare to 7years ago? 3) what is the level of unemployment?...dis are questions begging for answers
