DID PRESIDENT BUHARI REDUCE MINISTER OF FINANCE, KEMI ADEOSUN, TO A GLORIFIED FIGUREHEAD? Sourced: http://venturesafrica.com/features/president-buhari-just-might-have-reduced-nigerias-finance-minister-kemi-adeosun-to-a-glorified-figurehead/ Ladies and gentlemen, while we were basking over the hocus pocus of the delays in cabinet nomination, I think we missed the points highlighted in the above article, some of the concerns which are already becoming evident from the evidence of the past few weeks (2016 budget and the "alleged fiasco" from the UAE bilateral agreements signing) had made me go back and have a look at this article. Lets deliberate.

I don't know about these finance and budgetary guys but I know that this show of shame won't and can never have me in anytime, anyday... If he wanted, he ought to have held to the ministries like he did petroleum instead of making a joke of seasoned professionals. I'd rather go the Obj-Okonjo way to save my reputation. 4 Likes |

blizard44: I am of the opinion they knew what they were signing up for, when your boss already refers to you as a "do-nothing noisemaker" what then are you expecting? By running this show for months where permanent secretaries had to line up, one after the other for briefing gave a feel of one of those high-handed sovereign rulers africa became cursed with immediately post independence. 11 Likes 1 Share |

Must it be Ngozi or Charles always? Let us try another hand and approach to financial management. At least better than having our local Chartered Accountants mount this portfolio. She is young and can prove her mettle. 5 Likes |

Keneking: The article raises several salient issues such as issues of responsibility, monitoring budget implementation, increased bureaucracy and the possibility of a one-man show amongst others. Can we just see that this goes beyond a soludo or iweala or adeosun. Very soon some will come here talking about a low oil price, forgetting that your approach to a problem is important, and also that prices were low and forecasted to go lower and stay lower for longer, even during the campaign days. What was the essence of putting the economy on a standstill for several months just to appoint ministers. With the slow speed at which the president is taking to address issues in all facets so far, we should be expecting the government to come up with an idea when we must have already been dead economically or come out stronger by our own doggedness and resilience (medicine after death).

NavierStokes: Did OBJ, Late Yar'Adua and Jonathan not run a one-man show? Has the government failed in meeting its financial obligations so far? Has the budget been passed? Are you aware that the government's part of spend in the fiscal year is "zero based budget approach"? Agreed, oil prices have been forecasted to be extremely low this year, where is the saving all these years? Can Okonjo and Soludo tell us where it is? 2 Likes |

Keneking: Zero based websites or BMW's or provision of recreational facilities? My brother this is a government of "change" and should not be seen as exhibiting any of those your alleged tendencies of past administrations. Sadly your sai baba's "one-man-showship" is even worse, who ran a government for months with just a photographer(bayo omoboriowo) and 2 media aides ( garba and femi)? Who referred to ministers as noisemakers? Answer these honestly plus we need to ask a certain cbn governor how $117billion was used in his tenure to stabilise our currency. 9 Likes 1 Share |

->No one is capable of running a one man show in Nigeria, the complexity of the country will not allow for its success. ->This is why ministers should be given free will to use their experience and expertise to move the country forward. ->There is absolutely no need of appointing them if you don't allow them to function properly. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Omotolu:I won't say her age is the problem, lets just agree we had better people in her position before and even if she got her position because it was zoned to Ogun state, I strongly believe Ogun has people of more international clout and pedigree in the financial sector than Mrs Adeosun. Political partisanship aside, our economy is in a mess and she obviously doesn't have a handle on anything going on around her. The day I gave up on her was when she said she had no clue on where funds that were being returned to the country were a whole finance minister.... Smh 2 Likes 1 Share |

My problem with some yorubas is they have a very strong tendency to be sentimental beyond the confines of reason. I read a response the other day where a fellow smugly said...whether she is qualified or not, whether the economy crumbles or not, she must finish her tenure. I couldn't believe it. What most of us are saying...objectively is; they are hundrends of experienced yoruba men and women around the world who can fill in that position if it most be zoned to SW...doesn't have to me Mrs. Adeosun because a certain party chieftain wants her there at all cost despite her lackings. 7 Likes 2 Shares |

Re: Did President Buhari Reduce Kemi Adeosun, To A Glorified Figurehead? by Sealeddeal(m): 11:40am On Jan 24, 2016 |
are people still blaming Kemi Adeosun after reading the above article? Is it not clear that Buhari has set her up? In fact,if this revelation is anything to go by,it is clear that nobody,be it Iweala or Soludo can do more than Adeosun in this present set-up. Buhari is playing god but it is nigerians that will bear the brunt of his mischievious attitude to important issues. 1 Like |

Relic2020: You people should STFU, can you honestly tell me what kemi as done wrong since she became the finance minister that warrant you people saying she doesn't have the experience, she is barely 3 month into her tenure and all hell has been let lose from people like you that she does not have the required experience. What did we get from the experience of Ngozi or Soludo in the last 16 years, we are where we are today because of there so call stupid experience. I think its is high time Igbo people stop this "I better past my neighbor" attitude. For me you are only castigating kemi because she is not from your side, because i don't see what magic anybody could have done in 3 month to turn the fortune of Nigeria overnight as you expect her to do. When we had the opportunity, your lord and experienced Ngozi could not do jack. So please lets try our local inexperience Minister, since all international experience had failed us.

Kemi is fine for that position. The article is right. She does not have any power in the government other than manage cash. The planning ministry is supposed to plan the economy based on indices from other ministries and especially the trade and investment. I believe Buhari may be interfering too much in their decisions. They need to work together with the finance minister given the charge to oversee the economic team. While Buhari plays a final decision making role with advice from Osinbajo. |

Relic2020: Your first paragraph sounds like the kind of nonsense we heard about our sister Stella Oduah, I'm yet to hear any Yoruba person say the words you have accused the tribe of saying or even having an opinion similar. I have my reservations on Mrs Adeosun like many others, but I'm willing to give her a try, what we lack in Nigeria is not necessarily good leadership at the top but when the employees at the ministry are not adequately trained and qualified. When mass communication students get jobs in the ministry of finance performing duties they are not qualified for in that we have a problem. I'm sure Mrs Adeosun is adequately skilled and willing to advance to match the requirements of the task at hand. There are many Nigerians like soludo and Rewane GMB needs to have as senior advisers because these guys have been trained in the Nigerian system and understand it intricately. A flaw I see in both NOI and Kemi Adeosun who are imports 1 Like |

Keneking:You are daft. When the governors threatened court action saying excess crude account is unconstitutional and admission twisted the government into sharing and depleting the account now u are here blaming as usual which is typical of a programmed zombie. The Nigerian constitution dies not allow for savings on whatever form. It is built on a parasitic relationship of SHARE IT! |

Lighthouseman: Yes the excess crude account is unconstitutional. It is not the sharing of the excess crude account that was the main problem of the governors, it was the unilateral withdrawals by the Jonathan's administration without permission from the governors that caused mistrust between the FG and states. Nobody could trust Okonjo Iweala and Jonathan with their share of federal allocations. The governors share of the excess crude account is only about 24% while the FG's share is about 52%, why did the FG andnot save some of the FG's share in a special account for the rainy day. Was it the states that was responsible for the FG not being able to save it own share of allocation and still run a deficit budget? 1 Like |
