Nigeria does not value the usefulness of its citizens.
Mrs Ngozi Iwuala was the woman, who, as the Minister for Finance, saved Nigeria from being bankrupt, and being credit unworthy, by her ability to negotiate with the World Bank and the Paris Club, for Nigeria’s “soft landing”.
Now, the whole world has realized the potentials of this woman, and do not want her idle.
