Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala is undoubtedly one of the most criticized ministers
in Nigeria, and this is for a reason. In a country which is richly
endowed with vast mineral and natural resources that ranks it among the
richest countries of the world, it remains an unexplainable conundrum
that Nigerian citizens are among the poorest people in the world going
by the United Nations (UN) estimation that over 70 per cent of the
citizenry live below the poverty line, which is measured on $1 daily.
Worse still, the economic growth which the country has recorded on paper
in the past few years have also not impacted on the lives of the
people.
