Funny set of people. If you change the name of Buhari to Jonathan, would it make Nigeria economy the largest in Africa? Please concentrate on the nitty gritty of the matter in that ministry and not the nomenclature. Poor set of non-performing crooks, tomorrow they will say, it is rebranding. God help us
