Minister of Information, Mr Labaran Maku
says the accusation that the governments
of presidents Umaru Musa Yar’Adua and Goodluck Jonathan, squandered $67 billion
in foreign reserve, describing the allegation as “outlandish and clearly
fictitious”.
Here is a recap
He addressed a press conference in response to some of the allegations raised by the former Vice President (African Region) of the World Bank said the damning verdict passed on the education sector by Mrs Ezekwesili was a self-indictment as she presided over the sector without making any positive impact on it.
According to Mr Maku, Ezekwesili’s criticism of the education sector amounts to hypocrisy as she was part of the sector and contributed to its sorry state because despite receiving N458.1billion between 2006 and 2007 for the sector, there is nothing to see in terms of achievements. The Minister said: “If she says education has not worked it means she is saying she did not work”.
He accused the former Education minister of betraying a surprisingly limited understanding of government finances in her comments at Nsukka.
He noted: “These statements are even more curious in the light of the fact that she has held senior positions in government, and more recently, a position as a Vice President of the World Bank. However, rather than speculate about her motives, we would focus on the facts.
The question is who is telling the truth?
