Did This Guy Go to Arizona State?

Back when I was in college, I had an instructor in finance who made a lasting impression. He was trying to impress on us little yuppie-wannabes that what we really wanted to do with our lives was not to become the CEO. He said the real power was in being the CFO (nicer offices, less incoming crap when the company screwed up, control of the checkbook, etc.)

I wonder if the new finance minister of Chad was one of his former students. He has declared that none of his fellow ministers will be allowed to travel overseas on government business trips, and he will be reducing expense reimbursements.

He, of course, is exempt from the ban, along with four of the other ministers.

The story didn't say if the prime minister was one of the lucky four.
