I don't care if it is the president that asked her to say so or not, so long as it is coming from Okonjo Iweala,i believe it.u know her reputation is also at stake .see details below:
With the prices of oil falling in recent times
at the international market, the minister of
finance and the co-coordinating minister of
the economy Dr.Okonjo-Iweala stressed that
there was a contingency plan to avoid shocks
that were likely to come with the fall in oil
prices.
It is barely four months to the 2015 general
elections and preparations for its success are
ongoing, with expectations that there would
be huge spending by politicians. Many
Nigerians had expressed fears that there
would be too much money in circulation due
to political activities.
But there is no cause for alarm that is what
the Minister of Finance is saying.
The Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria,
Godwin Emefiele, also gave his words on the
nation’s financial stability.
He is optimistic that key sectors of the
economy such as; agriculture, oil and gas and
the solid mineral sectors had played a key
role in achieving the stability and that such
stability would be maintained.
Government officials have continued to
provide needed statistics on the performance
of the nations economy, saying “it has done
well”.
What many Nigerians hope to see is the
translation of all of the improvements in their
lives. Despite these claims, the poverty rate in
the nation is still high, something that the
Finance Minister says it will reduce in coming
years.
