The co-ordinating Minister of the Economy, Ngozi Okonjo Iweala has said that she will not respond to calls for her resignation made by Rotimi Amaechi and the other members of G7.
She made the statement at a press briefing in Abuja.
Her words: “I am Minister of Finance for the country. I am working with President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan and I will just do my job.
“This ( briefing) is not to address that kind of issue. All of you are Finance correspondents and I call you from time to time I have this kind of press conference and I share with you what is happening in the economy. That is what I am doing. So am I not answering to that? And as you see me here, do I look any close to resignation? I ‘de kampe’”.
“So don’t worry about. We should stop talking about political issues here. The economy should be managed for the good of Nigerians. That is why we are here. Let’s face facts of the economy. I have given you facts about the economy. I have given you roads built; agric jobs created increase in production, you can go and check for yourself so that we can focus on facts”.
