Buhari's Economic Policies "Opaque, Archaic" - Oby Ezekwesili

Oby Ezekwesili

Madam Oby Ezekwesili, former Minister of Education and social critic doesn't take prisoners and when she had the opportunity to address the Buhari administration's handling of the economy, her verdict was scalding.

Speaking at The Platform, a public policy forum in Abuja, madam Oby's stance of Buhari's policies were to put in two simple words; opaque and archaic! Choi! Why did 'madam due-process' say so? 

Mrs. Ezekwesili said Mr. Buhari was rehashing the same “command and control” approach towards economic issues which has left the country’s economic indices worse off since he assumed office almost year ago. She said and we quote, “What did not work in 1984 cannot possibly be a solution in a global economy that’s much more integrated.” 

Madam Oby truly is a 'school of hard knocks' disciple and one hopes the authorities are listening.
