Oyedele faults Nigerians for attacking World Bank over loans

Federal Finance Minister Taiwo Oyedele has criticized Nigerians who attacked the World Bank on social media over loans given to Nigeria. Oyedele emphasized that their actions demonstrated a lack of understanding of how the system operates. At a media briefing in Abuja, he used an ATM analogy to explain the consequences of criticizing a system without knowledge of its workings.

Oyedele warned against the manipulation of economic data for political gain and urged Nigerians to use the knowledge gained from the reform scorecard to hold the government accountable and either build or undermine their nation.
