Kemi Adeosun ‘poorly Qualified’ To Be Finance Minister – The Economist by Correspondence(m): 9:01am On Feb 20, 2016
English newspaper, The Economist, has undertaken a review of the newly constituted cabinet of President Muhammadu Buhari, with a verdict that the Minister of Finance, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun, who has an Economics degree from the University of East London and a Post Graduate degree in public financial management from the University of London, is poorly qualified to manage the nation’s economy.

It however described the Minister for Trade and Investment, Mr. Okechukwu Enelamah, as “a respected businessman”, but feared that he “may lack the clout to stand up to the president”.

According to the publication, “Africa’s biggest economy, which relies on oil for 70% of its revenue, is sputtering as prices fall. Economic policy has been adrift since Mr Buhari came to power, and investors complain about the central bank’s use of trade controls and import restrictions.

“However, the new finance minister, an accountant who cleaned up the books of one of Nigeria’s smaller states, is poorly qualified for the job.

“Her counterpart in the investment ministry is a respected businessman, but he may lack the clout to stand up to a president with statist leanings.”

The report further quoted the lawmaker representing Kaduna central senatorial district in the National Assembly, Senator Shehu Sani, as describing the cabinet as “a government with local professionals and without superstars.”

Regardless of weather she's qualified or not, what really angers me is that we always seem to wait for foreign media outlets like the FT, Economist ...etc to give judgement on our policies and personnel. Is the Nigerian media asleep?

I wouldn't mind a Charles Soludo there honestly. Kemi could simply be redeployed.

If the Economist called Jo Boy an Ineffectual Buffoon couple of weeks ago and I say they were right, it would be hypocritical to fault this position. cheesy

Jokes apart, Baba needs to review the lady's appointment. She could be more useful elsewhere- who knows..

It is now clear to all that the Igbos are superior to Yorubas when it comes to finance economic and business issues.
Yorubas should eat the humble pie and bow to the superior Igbos.
