LAGOS-BASED human rights lawyer, Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa yesterday described the recent four – day visit to Nigeria by the Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund, Ms. Christine Lagarde, as fruitless.

Adegboruwa in a statement on Sunday, said expectations that Lagarde would take advantage of the opportunity of her visit, to hammer on the rich and much-cherished culture of French liberty and freedom did not happen at all, as the IMF boss concentrated purely on the economic advantage of her visit.

According to him, as a female mother, one had expected Ms Lagarde to seek thorough and detailed explanation, from the Nigerian government, about the fate of the Chibok Girls and indeed the growing tendency of the ruling APC government, to disregard court orders.

He said: “It is indeed amazing, for the IMF to seek to entrench any economic profit, in an atmosphere of tyranny, oppression and impunity, now being perpetrated by the Buhari government, as commercial development and economic prosperity, will remain a mirage, in the absence of respect for the rule of law and due process.
