Photo: IMF leader Christine Lagarde arrives Nigeria ahead of economic talks with Buhari

Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Christine Lagarde, arrived Nigeria yesterday Monday January 4th to begin a four-day visit to the country which is aimed at fostering a strong relationship with Nigeria and other African member countries as well as to discuss Nigeria's economic matters with President Buhari.

A statement from Lagarde reads in part
“I look forward to productive meetings with President Buhari and his colleagues as they address important economic challenges, most importantly the impact of low oil prices. Nigeria is working hard to improve its business environment, promote opportunities for growth in the private sector, and strengthen social cohesion, all areas where the government has an important role to play. The visit to Nigeria will provide an opportunity to strengthen the Fund’s partnership with the largest economy in sub-Saharan Africa,”
She will also be visiting Cameroon after her stay in Nigeria.

    God will punish u n ur agents in Nigeria n other 3rd world countries dat u ve impoverished wt u policies. Only stupid leaders fall 4 IMF palliatives dat has never healed any country. Buhari rejected it in 1984 but stupid IBB accepted it to pls d imperialist in 1985 n Nigeria has never bn d same since then. Name JUST ONE COUNTRY dat IMF policies has helped their economy to recover? NONE. I fear for PMB bc he is now a weak man.

    She is welcome on general hospitality grounds. However, on economic grounds she is not welcome. Nigerians should please not forget Structural Adjustment Programme (SAP) by IBB regime in a haste. IMF as far as i am concerned does not have any good precedent in any country it intervenes in. A typical recent example is Greece and Spain. Its like the organisation is designed to stifle countries it gets involve with in favor of western countries rather than acting in the interest of the country and its populace. I would rather that we deal with the World Bank instead.
