Dr.
Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Nigeria’s minister of finance has denied being a
clog in efforts to reach a compromise between the Federal Government and
the striking members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities(ASUU).
In a statement by the minister made reference to what she called
abusive flyers and pamphlets allegedly being circulated in some parts of
the country, and in mosques, which purportedly malign and demonise her
as ‘being unsympathetic to the plight of students and parents.’She claimed the pamphlets also peddled lies that she has insisted on a “take-it-or-leave-it approach” in the negotiations with ASUU.
“Nothing could be further from the truth,” said the minister in the statement signed by her special adviser, Paul Nwabuikwu.
