providing solutions to challenges of the 21st century
The Nigerian President , Goodluck Jonathan seems to worship his finance minister.It appears he does not have in-depth understanding of how this subsidy thing really works. At the last presidential chat on subsidy removal, he was asked what he had achieved so far. He said he has renowned technocrats leading the economic team.

This is the sort of leader a society that hopes on luck for development, gets.
