“70
per cent of my staff have high blood pressure. This goes to show the
amount of stress we go through. All three of us here (referring to
herself, Minister of State, Bashir Yuguda; and Permanent Secretary of the ministry, Anastasia Daniel-Nwaobia ) have high blood pressure.
Minister of State
has High BP and you are on medication. Perm Sec has and I have. The
amount of stress in the ministry is unbelievable. Many times we are in
the office until 1 am, looking for ways, we want to push out money to
make payment. Many people don’t know this.
We now have a clinic so that people can go and check quickly up when they start having headache before someone collapses.
I want to on behalf of myself and my High Blood Pressure colleagues
say that I am happy to commission this clinic. Minister of State,
please forgive me for letting out the secret , you know how I talk- I am
very open.”

Coordinating Minister for the Economy and Minister of Finance, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala and her people are kinda tired of managing the Nigerian Economy because it is giving them high blood pressure.
Vanguard reports that she made the disclosure, while commissioning a new clinic and a crèche in the ministry, in Abuja.
