Why I prefer women to handle finances of Nigeria – Buhari vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday said that his decision to place women in strategic positions of his government, like the financial sector, was to ensure effective management of limited resources available, and promote a stronger sense of inclusiveness.
According to him, “I am happy that I can defend myself very effectively on this issue. The APC party leader is my witness. Since the coming into power of this administration I have handed over the treasury to women. He reiterated that his administration will ensure inclusiveness for women and youths, especially in the second term, by providing more access to facilities that will enable spread of Small and Medium Scale Enterprises, and encourage more interest in agriculture.
He said he instructed the ministers to work with traditional institutions to encourage interest in farming, with the Central Bank of Nigeria readily providing loans at low interest rates and longer periods of repayment.
