Financial magazine, The Economist after in a review of Nigeria’s newly appointed ministers says Kemi Adeosun, the finance minister, is poorly qualified to manage the country’s economy.
The new finance minister, an accountant who cleaned up the books of one of Nigeria’s smaller states, is poorly qualified for the job.
Her counterpart Okechukwu Enelamah, the minister for trade and investment, is “a respected businessman, but he may lack the clout to stand up to a president with statist leanings,”the newspaper noted.
Adeosun, has over two decades experience in financing and capital management.
The former commissioner for finance in Ogun state, from 2011 to 2015, holds an economics degree from the University of East London and a post graduate degree in public financial management from the University of London.
Adeosun honed her financing skills at Price Water Coopers and Chapel Hill Denham Management.
