Aderonke Okeleye wondered why anyone would criticise Agbaje's appointment, she wrote:
"Why would anyone even hate this again. Are they just desperate to be negative?"
A netizen commented that the move was commendable and urged Nigerians to stop coming online and condemned every government's policy. He wrote:
"See, if you come online and you always feel like responding to criticism then such person is not serious. We're all agitating for inclusion and when we get one we still talk because it's not our brother or sister. At least this one is commendable, we hope for more."
Sabastine Paul described the final-year student as an O'Level holder that should not have been honoured with such an opportunity. He said:
"There are many qualified youths out there why must it be an O'level holder? What is her experience to the portfolio she is appointed to? DANGOTE, BUA, AZMAN, ADENUGA, INNOSSON, AIR PEACE, OUR FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS etc will take advise given to them by o'level experience."
Dickson Ihede posited that many Nigerians are just sadists, he wrote:
"Majority of Nigerians just hate good things, it hurts me to say but that's just the why it's."
Akintayo expressed the view that Agbaje's briliance earned her the appointment and she should be allowed to display her talents. He wrote:
"If the girls is brilliant and capable of doing the job, let us support her please."
