Adewale Adeyemo, US Deputy National Security
Adviser
Nigerian-born Adewale Adeyemo made history in
the United States on Tuesday as President
Barrack Obama appointed him as the deputy
national security adviser (NSA) for international
economics.
---


Obama made the epoch announcement as he
praised Adeyemo's brilliance and exceptional
strength in helping the US combat global
economic recession which started in 2008.
President Barack Obama has tapped Adewale
“Wally” Adeyemo, who served in top roles at the
Treasury Department, to succeed Caroline
Atkinson as his deputy national security adviser
for international economic affairs.
---


Ms. Atkinson has served in her current post since
June 2013, a position that includes coordinating
U.S. participation in the annual summits of the
Group of 20 and Group of Seven countries. Ms.
Atkinson also played key roles in the recently
concluded climate negotiations in Paris and in
pushing the White House’s trade agenda,
including the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade
agreement.
---


Mr. Adeyemo, 34, joined the White House’s
National Economic Council as deputy director this
fall from the Treasury, where he served most
recently as the deputy chief of staff to Secretary
Jacob Lew. He was the Treasury’s lead
negotiator on the currency agreement that was
part of the Pacific trade deal.
---


Mr. Adeyemo also worked on Treasury’s response
to crises in Ukraine and Greece and in 2010 was
one of the first officials charged with standing up
the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
---


In a statement, Mr. Obama thanked Ms. Atkinson
for her service and said he was grateful that Mr.
Adeyemo would carry on her work. Mr. Adeyemo
had been nominated by Mr. Obama to serve as
assistant Treasury secretary for international
markets and development, but a White House
official said Mr. Adeyemo had asked the president
to withdraw the nomination given his new role.
---


Mr. Lew said that Mr. Adeyemo had “developed a
network of international relationships in economic
offices around the world to promote U.S.
interests effectively.” Former Treasury Secretary
Tim Geithner said Mr. Adeyemo, who joined the
administration in 2009, was a “natural diplomat
with a great feel for policy.”
---


The position has served as a springboard to even
higher profile international finance posts. Michael
Froman, who is currently the U.S. trade
representative, held the post under both Mr.
Obama and President Bill Clinton. Federal Reserve
governor Lael Brainard, who previously served as
a senior Treasury official in the Obama
administration, held the post in the Clinton
administration.

ADEYEMO PAYS TRIBUTE TO NIGERIAN
PARENTS
The young, enterprising and brilliant Nigerian took
out time to thank his parents who afforded him
the opportunity to reach the peak he has attained
as he thanked them in a moving tribute.
He said: “While they could not be here today, I
want to acknowledge my father and mother who
immigrated to this country in search of the
American dream and the opportunity to give my
brother, sister, and me a better life,” he had said.
---


“They have worked hard, as an elementary school
principal and a nurse, to give tremendous
opportunities to their children, but along the way,
they have instilled in us the values that guide us
every day.
---


“They often remind us that this country affords
the chance to do anything we wanted if we work
hard. And they have taught us that we have a
responsibility to serve the community and the
country that has afforded them so many
opportunities.”
