I Lost Appointments For Demanding Accountability In The Last Government – Laments Oby Ezekwesili

Obiageli Ezekwesili, Nigeria’s chartered accountant and former Education Minister who also served as the Federal Minister of Solid Minerals during the days of Former President Olusegun Obasanjo laments over the revelations regarding stolen funds meant for arms procurement.

She then went on to say, in the course of her “Bring Back Our Girls’ advocacy, demanding the right thing is done by the Nigerian government under then Goodluck Jonathan, she lost six international appointments.

I lost 6 international corporate Board appointments because they tagged me "Enemy of the State" for DEMANDING ACCOUNTABILITY. Here WE ARE!
