Deeply humbled by honour done to me by @NigeriaGov in naming the Idu Railway complex & stations #Abuja. This honors all women of #Nigeria, inspiring young girls who travel through these doors, look up to the sign & see what a woman can achieve.

potbelly:
With all due respect, what positive impact has she had on the country in both her pervious and current positions to warrant such?

Why will a railway complex be named after a former minister of environment?

so in the history of the railways in Nigeria, is the FG saying there is no one decent enough for the complex to be named after?

She was barely in government, she jumped ship at the first opportunity.

Celebrating noble women is worthy. It's really a great honour to named such a beautiful place after her

Amina Mohammed did not just surface as Nigeria's minister of the environment.


She was working with the United Nations on their Millenium Development Goals project when President Olusegun Obasanjo brought her back to Nigeria to be his special assistant on Millenium Development Goals.

At that time President Obasanjo was head hunting certain Nigerians that lived abroad, e.g. Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Professor Charles Soludo and Ambassador Oluyemi Adeniji. Amina was one of the people that he brought back to Nigeria.


Part of her job then was to use some of the money that we saved from debt forgiveness to work on rural development, girl child education, etc.

At that time her name was Amina Az Zubair. I don't know why it changed.


She went back to working with the United Nations, she lectured at Columbia University and she also worked with the Gates Foundation after Obasanjo left office.

President Buhari brought her back again to work as minister of the environment before the UN took her again.

(I remember that she also serve the Yar'Adua and Goodluck Jonathan administrations in some form, I think as special adviser on sustainable development goals).
