Why I prefer women to oversee Nigeria’s economy, finances – Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari has explained why placed women in strategic positions of his government, such as the financial sector.

According to him, this is to ensure effective management of limited resources available and promote a stronger sense of inclusiveness.

The President said this when he received a delegation of National, Zonal, State and FCT Women leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) led by the party’s Woman Leader, Salamatu Baiwa, on Thursday at the State House in Abuja.

He noted that he preferred women to oversee the economic and financial hub of the country, Ministry of Finance, as they can readily deploy their experience in aligning resources with the needs of the country.
