Okonjo-Iweala Optimistic About Adequate Security During World Economic Forum in Abuja


The Minister of Finance,Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala has emphasised that there would be adequate security during the World Economic Forum for Africa which is due to commence next week.

The Minister said,"with the World Economic Forum,ofcourse its not easy;the news we have heard so far is that people are asking questions but it seems encouraging.
"I think that by the time we hear some of the security measures that the President is going to announce,we will see that we will calm the nerves of those who are proposing to come.
"We have also sent a press advisory,but we should focus on the feelings.I told you that I was sad about the abducted girls and we should focus on what to do to bring the girls back.
"And we should also focus on families of those who lost their lives;that is very important.
"It is not that the forum is not important,but more important is the issue of the girls and supporting the families which have lost people.
"We will see what will happen with the forum; I am confident that things will be okay but our minds are not in it right now as on the issue of those who lost their lives and their families."
