World Bank Laughs At Soludo – GEJ Finally Replies
president, Goodluck Jonathan, last week used an
interview with a Nigerian newspaper to reply to former Central Bank
governor Charles Soludo’s accusation that the federal government had
failed to account for at least N30 trillion.
Jonathan said that Soludo’s remarks were
politically motivated and said that Soludo’s academic standing was
ridiculous.
He said it was illogical for that sum to be
“stolen” as his government had not generated that much in all its years
in power.
The former Central Bank of Nigeria governor, Charles Soludo had
blasted the management style of Nigeria’s finance minister, Ngozi
Okonjo-Iweala, especially her inability to steer the nation aright amid
an oil crisis.
Soludo said that the nation’s reserves have been depleted by corrupt
officials. These reserves would have helped the nation bounce back from
the current fall in oil prices.
