Why I always appoint female finance minister – Buhari
President Buhari said he preferred women to oversee the economic and financial hub of the country, Ministry of Finance, as they can readily deploy their experience in aligning resources with the needs of the country, explaining that the nation also had many female technocrats with local and international experiences on economy and finance.
“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. President Buhari said the traditional and subsistence style of farming should be replaced with commercialized and business-oriented techniques.“We have to move away from the traditional ways of farming that were practised in the pre-colonial and colonial era,’’ he added.
In her remarks, the APC woman leader congratulated the president for his victory at the polls and the tribunal, commending the administration for its efforts in managing the affairs of the country, which provided the impetus for the vigorous campaigns.
