The President and Commander-in-Chief of Nigeria’s Armed Forces, Goodluck Jonathan had the honour of being the first Nigerian leader to ring the closing bell at the end of trading session at the New York Stock Exchange on Monday 23 September 2013.

Ministers who accompanied President Jonathan to the ceremony included Finance Minister, Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, Minister for Trade and Investment, Olusegun Aganga and the Minister for Petroleum Resources, Dieziani Alison Madueke. Also present at the ceremony was the Director General of the Nigerian Stock Exchange, Arunma Oteh.

The President is currently in the United States to attend the 68th Session of the UN General Assembly.

During his visit he has met President Obama of the US and is also scheduled to meet with Hedge Fund managers to discuss possible U.S. and foreign investments in Nigeria’s power, petroleum and agriculture sectors.

PEJ

GEJ the man


Even the Book said it:



Surely, they will gather but since it's not in our interest, they shall scatter!!!



A thousand by this side ten thousand by that side but none shall come near ur dwelling place.




GEJ the man after God's own heart.


#occupy till 2019

This now counts as a monumental achievement!Watch out folks,stooges won't allow anybody go by without drumming it in dat he is d 1st ever nig pres to ring a bell @ d nyse.Pls how much was paid for this achievement,or was he invited based on his 'unusual economic transformation'?

God one Mr. Presido !!. The Freshest president we've had in a long time. The ones before him look too criminal. That's why they were never invited.

The meeting with Hedge Fund managers is very crucial. More important that the meeting with Obama. We need investors to really jumpstart our power reform agenda. Nigeria must have regular electricity 'by fire by force'.
WELLDONE MR. PRESIDENT. WE ARE SOLIDLY BEHIND YOU TILL 2019.

This man is working so hard, toi bring investors to Nigeria.
Unfortunately, Nigeria is not a place where good efforts are valued.

Nigerians need a President that will share money!

Pics or it didn't happen

Aganga's side view looks like Femi Otedola in the still video up there. This ringing of bell at SE seems to be a thing of pride; could somebody please explain its implications to me?

Pars Parse

Ngo baby she no dey carry last for Jonathan matter...

It's actually a personal achievement




only people who like other people to progress will be happy about this

Well, they could'nt have invited the military crooks and OBJ just don't look the part. He was also a military crook, anyway. GEJ is the first genuine democrat we've had as a leader. FDI is pouring into Nigeria roght now. Thanks to him.
