Okonjo-Iweala had said she would need time to respond to the 50 questions given to her by the committee.
But the committee said Nigerians will no longer take excuses:
“We view this as a welcome development as it denotes a vindication of the decision we took when she appeared before the committee on December 19, 2013. The committee knew that she would need time to answer the questions.
“The minister appears to be taking the memories of Nigerians for granted. This was the minister who walked into the meeting with the committee and drew everyone’s sympathy the moment she feebly announced that she was not feeling well.”The committee stated that it was curious then that when the minister was not feeling well she was prepared to address the 50 questions in a session that was to last about two hours. It said now that she was fully fit, hale and hearty, she is saying she would need more time.
The committee stated, “It is regrettable that while talking to reporters after the presentation of the report of the 15-year strategic partnership on debt management between UK and Nigeria, the minister accused critics of the huge domestic debt profile under her stewardship of lacking information.
“Interestingly, that is why the committee invited her to share such information with Nigerians. It would also be an opportunity to let her know some of the things we know.”
The lawmakers said Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala should realised that Nigeria know when an economy is okay:
"Nigerians will positively feel the impact if their economy is really doing well as the minister claims.”
she is not only taking us for granted she is fooling us and until the whole economy is collapse then we will know i know one day that oil will dry may be then we can see the way forward,my only concern is our youth who are being used by this crook let us wake up and take charge so that our generation will not be a wasted one,dubai,,qatar and some others have the same oil that we have and you can see the development even those that did not have oil are making better use of what they have let us wake up from slumber until the famine of oil come
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. I am from Delta State and I am currently in the United States for my masters. I feel ashamed every time foreign students ask me about my country, and to some other Nigerians who have decided to elope. That is not the solution to our problem. We are not respected here until we decide to fight, that is why most artists run back home after staying in the states cos they are not valued. And just the oda day my classmate asked me again abt my country and said why don't we fight? We can not continue being raped and kip quiet abt it. Sometimes ago, the blacks had to fight the whites to stop racism without fear of losing their lifes. Nothing good comes easy, check the history of the world- democracy is not worked for, it is fought for! Ruvie
