Surprisingly I have not read a note about the dominance of Ministry of Finance in nations economic anf financial decesions proir to my article and distaste for her profile in that department of government . Whatever the outcome, I must warn that any interference with CBN governors management capacity to our Monetry or economic policy will spellk the free fall our fragile economy . I have always envied that man's commitment to lead us out the temptation we often find our economy eroding into . I am sorry I can not always remember his name , he's been God sent to Nigeria economic management and need to be loved by anyone with background to what he's been doing for the nation .
The Ministry is a dream seller.Sofar Govt cannot eradicate corruption enhance instruction ,make reforms for more jobs the issue of financial prestige remains a wishful thinking. It need in rainy season to adventue from Apapa to mile two,repair the roads first
Here is the problem with Dr. Okupe's and Okonjo-Iweala's argument. The Nigerian as well as the economies of other emerging nations are tied to the West. The Western economies are now in depression by and large. Now, there is a lot of talk here in the United States of an economic collapse. The U.S. is that fragile. If that happens, what does one think will happen to the emerging economies? What will happen to the Nigerian economy? Considering the fact that the growing Nigerian economy has frightening levels of inequality, the country will suffer an economic collapse if the West collapses. That is a very important fact that cannot be ignored.
