The publication, however, named Ghana ‘s Fund as the second best transparently ran fund in the world, after Colombia’s.

Nigeria’s SWF is one of the lowest & poorly managed in the world. Coincidentally, had a chat with my brother over this a week before that report was released by IMF.

This administration finds fault with any organisation that doesn't commend it. That attitude is responsible for most of Nigeria's current economic woes

Why do we in NIGERIA think our ratings by reputable international orgs are wrong? We should rather look at improvements

What good has IMF done for any country? Causing confusion everywhere.
