The Minister of Finance, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-
Iweala, on Friday bagged the African Finance
Minister of the year award for her
outstanding performance as a finance minister.
The award was presented to her by the African
Investor Magazine on the sideline of the
ongoing annual meetings of the World Bank and
the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in
Washington DC. She thanked the organisers for
the award and described it as an
absolute honour and auspicious.
She called on all investors in Africa to join the
fight against the deadly Ebola virus disease that
is ravaging some countries in West Africa.
“What is happening in Liberia, Guinea and
Sierra-Leone and the success we had in Nigeria
and Senegal in containing this virus should not
be allowed to set Africa back.
“You as private sector and friends of Africa need
to send the message that we should not be so
afraid of Ebola that we stigmatise the whole
continent. “I think that it is only with your own
leadership, as African investors, that the rest of
the world can see which way they should pass.
So, I am really urging you to be ambassadors to
the continent,” she said.
Okonjo-Iweala said that in spite of the
challenges facing the continent, African leaders
should sustain the successes recorded in the
past. These challenges, she said, include
infrastructure, governance, poor education
system, employment, corruption, among others.
“We are not shying away from these challenges
but the turning point now is that we are in the
continent where we have the political will and
confidence to tackle these challenges.
“I think that we as Africans must always take
the lead because if we don’t solve our problems,
nobody can do it for us.” Okonjo-Iweala called
for continuous partnership with the private
sector, donor agencies and non-governmental
organisations.

I wonder oo....Madam NOI is really making waves on NL.

Congrats to her, but I wish we Nigerians can really feel the impact of her efforts.

Good for her.But average nigerians have not felt the impact.Under her nose,states being governed by opposition parties are being starved of funds,billions of dollars stollen oil money cant be accounted for,ministries and parastatals activities are at their lowest ebbs because of inadequate funding.

She actually deserves it. One of the few women that has actually made a difference in Nigeria. I wouldn't be surprised if critics and chauvinists say otherwise.

Madam okonjo-iweala making Nigeria proud since 600 A.D...

congratulations to her.

She is a natural woman everywhere she goes she keeps promoting Nigeria. Kudos ma
