President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday accepted the resignation of the Minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun.
This was contained in a statement by the President’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, in Abuja on Friday.
President Buhari thanked the Minister for her services to the nation and wished her well in her future pursuits.
Adeosun was appointed Nigeria’s Minister of Finance by President Buhari in November 2015.
Before her appointment as finance minister, she worked as Accounting assistant at British Telecom Company, London, from 1989 to 1990 and Senior audit officer at Goodman Jones, London, from 1990 to 1993.
She was also Manager, Internal Audit at London Underground Limited, London, 1994 to 1995 and Manager Internal Audit, Prism Consulting from 1996 to 2000.
She worked as Senior Manager at the Price Waterhouse Coopers, London from 2000 to 2002, joined Chapel Hill Denham Management as a financial controller in 2002 and left the organisation as Managing Director in 2010.
Adeosun, who is also a member of the Institutes of Chartered Accountants, England and Wales as well as Nigeria, served as Commissioner of Finance in Ogun State from 2011 to 2015.
She holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Economics from the University of East London and a Postgraduate Diploma in Public Financial Management from the University of London.
Adeosun was caught in the web of presenting a fake National Youth Service Corps Exemption Certificate to be appointed into public offices in Nigeria.
A suit in this regard is before the Federal High Court, Abuja.
