Ezekwesili had claimed in a series of tweets released on Thursday that the finance minister 'snubbed' her at the Future Awards Symposium lecture.
The former World Bank VP had prior to the lecture alleged that the country's foreign reserves of $67bn were mismanaged.
She however re-inforced her claims via the tweets saying "Once again, I call for a debate on how oil revenue is being managed. Citizens have a right to know.
"I believe that the government owes citizens accountability on its management of oil revenue. Take advantage of my call for debate.
"My demand for a debate was born out of my realisation that the government was playing a game of distraction on the issue.
"Substance is that as a citizen, I demanded accountability for the run down and stagnation of the Foreign Reserves and Excess Crude Account.
"The minister knows that my speech had the foreign reserves. Mine was not a 'sub' and still is not. If the minister is confident of her facts, respond to my call for accountability."
But when asked to react to the tweets by the former World Bank VP, the Senior Special Assistant to the finance minister, Mr. Paul Nwabuikwu, told our correspondent on the telephone that he had "no comment."
Dr. Oby Ezekwesili in an hypocrite who deem it fit to demand accountability but frown at it if demanded from her. She blocked me on twitter for honestly asking her to respond to the allegation from the presidency on funds misappropriation and that she should highlight any improvement made when she was Education Minister under OBJ. It is sad that she is allowing herself to be drawn into politicking as she is a knowledgeable lady with so much more to offer the youths of this country...
