Buhari: Why I Appointed Woman as Finance Minister
President Muhammadu Buhari Thursday in Abuja said he appointed a woman as the Minister of Finance to ensure effective management of available limited resources and promote a stronger sense of inclusiveness.
Buhari made the remarks while receiving a delegation of national, zonal, state and Federal Capital Territory women leaders of the All Progressives Congress led by the party’s Women Leader, Hajiya Salamatu Umaru Baiwa, at the State House. “Even at household level, you hand over the money to women to manage. It can be taken to the level of managing the country’s treasury as well. I have consistently given it to women. It is strategic.
He also said Buhari suggested the need to replace traditional and subsistence style of farming with commercialised and business oriented techniques. “On unemployment, I know there is no able bodied person that went back to the farm in the last three years that regretted the action,’’ he added.
