Saving during recession. Lol. Think of how to generate money not how to save oil money. Dumb leaders

Bevista:
She is "Saving" the money from being wasted. Not necessarily putting it into a Savings account.

onatisi:
Sackings and austerity measures in simple plain language

porka:


That's what she is coding.

Bevista:
$5b annually. That would be an extra N1trillion added to the budget annually.

I pray she has the skill and will to pull it through.

Jokay07:
I wonder the kind of youths we are breeding in the society nowadays - I fear for the glory of our Nation. Upward, nobody has made a sensible comment with respect to what Aunty Kemi said. Politicising and condemnation of every government activity just because we are representing Apc or Pdp.
Well, Aunty Kemi should have come to reality that she is no more a ministerial nominee. Her comment should be ''I will'' not '' I can'' - whatever!! We all depend on you so don't let's us down. They said you are a greenhorn, they said you are inexperience so Let your achievements put your enemies into shame.

dokunbam:


Thanks for this.

We should let these guys do their job naa. haaa >

Naija everything na to complain, what is wrong with word of encouragement, kind suggestions, contributions etc

Finance Minister Kemi Adeosun said she can save as much as $5 billion annually by cracking down on waste in more than 450 government agencies, a strategy that will determine how well Nigerian economy weathers its slowest growth spell since 1999.

Adeosun, who took office in November, offered an early glimpse of how Africa’s top crude exporter plans to navigate a crash in oil prices that has beset petrostates globally.

Nigeria’s government revenue has fallen by about 60% from the height of the oil boom more than a year ago, she said.

To compensate for those lost funds, the London-born former accountant and investment banker said she would scrutinize the prices government agencies pay for plane tickets, office supplies and other items.

Next year’s budget will also include caps on increases to government workers’ salaries, she said.
“We’re trying to rein everybody in,” Ms. Adeosun, 48 years old, said from behind the desk vacated in May by her predecessor, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala. “I don’t expect anybody to like it, but I also expect people to understand that where we find ourselves, there’s no choice.”

Ms. Adeosun was finance commissioner for Ogun State before she was appointed minister.
