Shehu Sani, immediate past Kaduna
Central Senator, on Thursday faulted claims by President Muhammadu Buhari that
some statistics published by World Bank on Nigeria were wrong.
Buhari had said some of the data
by World Bank and other international bodies were wild estimates and
inaccurate, adding that local institutions were better suited in the collation
of records than foreign agencies.
Speaking during a meeting with
the recently-constituted economic council, Buhari warned Nigerians to be wary
of some statistics from world bodies.
He had said: “Today, most of the
statistics quoted about Nigeria are developed abroad by the World Bank, IMF and
other foreign bodies.
“Some of these statistics are
wild estimates that bear little relation to the facts on the ground
Reacting to the remark, Sani
faulted the government for dismissing the assessment of World Bank despite
demanding for money from them.
In a tweet, Sani wrote: “You want
World Bank money, you don’t want World Bank assessment.”
