Finance Minister, Okonjo-Iweala Can’t Explain How $49.8 Was Diverted From The Treasury

The Finance Minister, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala obviously cannot explain where the $49.8 meant for the National Treasury was diverted to. The Minister said those publishing the stories will fail, rather than address the issues and make facts available for the Public to be the Judge, the minister goes on reacting like the average Nigerian Politician who lacks content..

PRESS RELEASE: CAMPAIGN OF CALUMNY AGAINST OKONJO-IWEALA WILL FAIL

In the past few weeks, the Coordinating Minister for the Economy and Minister of Finance, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala has been the subject of high profile media attacks from several quarters.

The aim of these elements is to unduly politicise the management of the economy through a campaign of falsehoods and distortions.

The pronouncements of these political vested interests are based on false information and outright lies disguised as objective comments.

Fortunately Nigerians are wise to their antics and this campaign to damage the name of the Coordinating Minister, like previous ones, will fail.

We urge Nigerians to continue to be vigilant to the increasingly desperate actions of these elements. Where appropriate, we will continue to clarify the issues and point out the true situation in specific areas of the country’s economic management.

Many thanks.

Paul C. Nwabuikwu
Special Adviser to the Coordinating Minister for the Economy and Minister of Finance
