She said she has proudly served the nation to the best
of her ability for seven years, and will not take any offer
to serve in the Nigerian government again.
Speaking as a guest on Al-Jazeera, Okonjo-Iweala said
she has learnt to talk less as she has grown older.
When was asked if she would take a position in the
Buhari administration if offered, she said: "I served my
country for seven years and it was a great honor. The
second time was very tough but it is still an honor. I am
not the only person who is a repository of knowledge.
There are other people who can equally try their hands
in running the economy."
"One of the things you learn as you get wiser is to talk
less as you grow older. I have spent my time
contributing to the country. It will be better to leave
those managing the economy to do what they know how
to do. There can be solutions," she added.
On how she fought corruption, the former minister said,
with the help of her economic team, she tried her best,
admitting that it was tough.
