Why I handed over treasury to women – Buhari
President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday in Abuja said placing women in strategic positions of his government, like the financial sector, is to ensure effective management of limited resources available, and promote a stronger sense of inclusiveness.
The President gave the insight into his preferred choice for Ministers of Finance while receiving a delegation of National, Zonal, State and FCT Women leaders of the All Progressives Congress led by the party Women Leader, Hajiya Salamatu Umaru Baiwa at the State House. ‘’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 said the traditional and subsistence style of farming should be replaced with commercialized 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.
