A civil society organization Rescue Nigerian Economy Project has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to save Nigeria’s economy by urgency redeploying the minister of finance, Kemi Adeosun, to another ministry.
According
to the group, Adeosun’s handling of the finance ministry has proven
that she is a rookie who is not qualified to find solutions to numerous
problems confronting economy.

who is not qualified to find solutions to numerous problems confronting economy.
Members of Rescue Nigerian Economy Project called on Adeosun to resign and stressed that the ministry of finance needs a professional with vast experience.
“President Buhari does not know Kemi Adeosun from Adam. She was recommended to her by the incumbent governor of Ogun state under which she has served as commissioner for finance. From her performance so far, the minister has proven that the management of Nigeria’s economy is a different ball game when compared to that of Ogun state”.
“While there is lack of economic direction from the federal government, the minister has not come up with any concrete plan aimed at salvaging Nigeria’s economy, which is in a state of coma. Foreign investors are leaving in droves while millions of Nigerians have had their money stuck in the capital market”.
“If Nigerians can criticise the contents of the 2016 budget and President Buhari has written to the National Assembly seeking its withdrawal, he should also realise the mistake he has made in the appointment of Mrs Adeosun and redeploy her to another ministry as a matter of urgency”.
“If there is any ministry that requires a thoroghbred professional with vast experience, it is the Ministry of Finance. It is not a ministry that anybody should experiment with, especially now that we are grappling with sharp decline in oil prices. Competence should take priority over political affiliations,” the statement read.
A month ago, The Economist, English newspaper, also took a swipe at Adeosun, stating that she is poorly qualified to manage Nigeria’s economy.
“The new finance minister, an accountant who cleaned up the books of one of Nigeria’s smaller states, is poorly qualified for the job.”
