Vice-Chairman, Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the South-West, Engr. Adedeji Doherty, and Chief Executive Officer, Lagos State Internal Revenue Service, LIRS, Dr. Babatunde Fowler, have called on President Goodluck Jonathan to create a Treasury Ministry.

They spoke at the 2014 Hall of Grace, HOG, dinner/awards, a 4-year-old initiative of two-time former Minister, Chief Alex Akinyele, which is being managed by Mr.Rupert Ojenuwa, where Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed of Kwara State, Dr. William Fowler and Nnamdi Ezeigbo, CEO of Slot System and others, were honoured as Governor of the Year, Man of Excellence and Businessman of the Year, respectively in Lagos.

The duo argued that the creation of a Treasury Ministry remained Nigeria’s most viable means of salvaging itself from the cesspit of corruption which had greatly hindered the country, especially in the battle against terrorism.
