Why I Can’t Serve In Buhari’s Government – Okonjo-Iweala

FORMER Finance Minister, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala has said she would not be available to serve the present administration if overtures were made to her by President Muhammadu Buhari, noting that Nigeria boasts of competent people, who would offer their services when called upon. iShe also noted that it was better to allow those managing Nigeria’s economy to do the best they could, noting that there could be solutions to the present economic decline in the country.

Okonjo-Iweala, who made this known while participating in an Aljazeera programme: The Stream said:

“One of the things you learn as you get wiser is to talk less as you grow older. I have spent my time contributing to the country. It will be better to live those managing the economy to do what they know how to do. There can be solutions”.

“I served my country for seven years and it was a great honour. The second time was very tough but it is still an honour. I am not the only person who is a repository of knowledge. There are other people who can equally try their hands in running the economy”.
