Ex-President Goodluck Jonathan’s Minister of
Finance & Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Dr.
Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, on Monday, expressed joy
over her new job to join the board of Gavi, the
Vaccine Alliance, founded by Bill and Melinda
Gates.
The former finance minister, had also announced
that she will also be joining US investment bank,
Lazard’s sovereign advice division.
Okonjo-Iweala who tweeted via her Twitter
handle, @NOIweala said: “I’m excited to join GAVI
to immunize 300 million more children in the next
five years and save 5 million to 6 million more
lives.”
The new portfolios, however, follow her second
stint as Nigeria’s finance minister, which ended in
May after the Goodluck Jonathan-led government
was voted out of office.
Okonjo-Iweala has spent the past three decades
working on fiscal management and governance
systems in Africa through 25 years at the World
Bank, most recently as a managing director, and
twice as finance minister in what is now the
continent’s biggest economy.
She has although, recently come under sharp
criticisms particularly by Governor Adams
Oshiomhole of Edo State, over issues bordering on
alleged corruption in the last administration.
Okonjo-Iweala has argued that her work on
transparency and anti-corruption as finance minister
under both Mr Jonathan and Olusegun Obasanjo has
been unfairly “brushed aside.”

Guy please this is really appalling.

When you come one on one with the woman, you may not even be able to look at her face but manage to mutter some greetings. But hiding at the back of the screen inside your bedroom to insult someone is quite unfair and uncivilized.

We need to learn.

She is a great woman of substance. How I wish I know her one on one.
