PARIS, OCTOBER 10, 2016: (DGW) Nigeria suffered yet again another disgrace as the Minister of Budget and National Planning , Udoma Udo Udoma, was not only left tongue-tied but red-faced on Monday before a panel of moderators when he was unable to respond to questions which bordered on Nigeria's total debt profile during the 22nd Nigerian Economic Summit holding place in Abuja.
Speaking , Zain Asher, a CNN Anchor, one of the moderators, asked Udoma to divulge the specific figure of Nigeria’s debt profile, this question , according to our source left Udoma grasping for breath.
“How much is Nigeria’s total debt?” Asher asked the minister.
In response, a befuddled Udoma said: “I can’t tell you the exact figure. I will have to get back to you on that.”
Asher, however, responded with a challenge, saying: “But you are the minister of budget”.
The clearly-rattled budget minister neither gave a ballpark figure nor stated that the Debt Management Office (DMO) was in charge of keeping records of the nation’s debt profile.
Instead, he informed Asher that several committees were saddled with the responsibility of compiling Nigeria’s debt and as such, he could not give a precise figure.
His response elicited loud murmurs from the audience.
