The former minister of education, however, hailed the decision to set up this council she described as a copy from America.
She went further to urge the members of the committee to tell the president that he has mismanaged the country for the last four years.
See her tweet below:
The setting up a Council of Economic Advisors is in itself one of the features of the American Presidential system which we copied.
Strong membership& that’s really great.
I hope the first thing they do is tell the President how he mismanaged the Economy in the last 4 years. /1— Oby Ezekwesili (@obyezeks) September 17, 2019
