Theophilus Danjuma has narrated how a female petroleum minister almost made him have a change of mind in advocating for jobs to be given to women.
The former Chief of Army Staff (retd.) stated this while speaking at the inauguration of the Goodwill Medical Centre built and equipped by his Foundation at Umuchigbo, Iji Nike, Enugu.
According to Damjuma, the female minister has set a record yet to be beaten by anybody.
He said;
“I used to say that if you want anything properly done and delivered on time without any excuses, give the job to a woman until we had a female minister of petroleum. That woman excelled in corruption. She set a record that is yet to be beaten by anybody.
“So, I was in the process of reviewing my statement when I met one lady, Prof. Uche Amazigo Uche and I have come a very long way. My first encounter with Uche was around mid-October 2010 when she, accompanied by Mrs. Franca Ilamiji, another Igbo woman.”
