Earlier on this week, Nigeria’s Minister of Finance Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala was interviewed by Christiane Amanpour, CNN’s chief international correspondent and anchor of Amanpour, a nightly foreign affairs program on CNN International.
The interview was on Tuesday 16th April, 2013 and the Nigerian minister answered questions on corruption, oil theft and the un-ending power sector problems.
Speaking on the issue of corruption, Iweala explained that, “Nigeria does have a problem with corruption, and so do many other countries, including developed countries. I don’t like the fact that when people mention the name Nigeria, the next thing they say is corruption…this is a country of 170 million people; 99.9 percent of them are honest, hard-working citizens who just want to get on with their lives and they want a government that delivers for them”
