OKONJO–IWEALA, BILL GATES, MO IBRAHIM, BLOOMBERG RECEIVE INTERNATIONAL HONOR FOR SERVICE TO HUMANITY, FIGHT AGAINST POVERTY

Former Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala was one of the distinguished recipients honoured at an all-star event in New York on December 1 for services to humanity and the fight against poverty and HIV/AIDS.

She received the award from two respected international advocacy groups, ONE and RED, alongside Bill & Melinda Gates, philanthropist Mo Ibrahim and former New York Mayor and media mogul, Michael Bloomberg.

Dr. Okonjo-Iweala and her co-honorees were recognized at a grand event marking the tenth anniversary of the advocacy groups.

Former US President Bill Clinton and current Vice President Joe Biden were in attendance.

Top comedian and CNN presenter, Trevor Noah host the event.

In her response to the honor, Okonjo-Iweala said “I thank ONE and (RED) for this recognition. It is an inspiration to work harder on the issues of social and economic development that have always been my passion. I’m also grateful to my country for the opportunities to serve. I will always be proud to be a Nigerian.”

ONE is an international campaigning and advocacy organization of more than 7 million people taking action to end extreme poverty and preventable disease, particularly in Africa.

It was co-founded by Bono, to raise public awareness and work with political leaders to combat AIDS and preventable diseases, increase investments in agriculture and nutrition, and demand greater transparency so governments are accountable to their citizens.

ONE works closely with African activists and policymakers as they fight corruption, promote poverty-fighting priorities, monitor the use of aid, and help build civil society and economic development. ONE’s work is strictly politically non-partisan.

(RED) was founded by Bono and Bobby Shriver to make it easy for people and businesses to join the fight against the deadly virus.

Throughout the past decade, (RED) has raised more than $320 million with the help of companies like Apple and Coca Cola towards the fight against HIV.

End time award

Hmmm

Waiting for osho baba comment on this

We all respect Dr. Ngozi Okonjo Iweala and we congratulate her on her numerous awards and accolades. That said, it is now fact that billions of $$$ was stolen and distributed under her watch. Money for our soldiers were fleeced away into pockets of individuals while Boko Haram murdered, mutilated and beheaded our soldiers. Under her watch Nigeria came to its knees despite the fact that we were earning $100/barrel of oil exported - the most in our nations history.

I urge her to remember that when the chicken comes home to roost, 1001 awards won't save her! She is definitely complicit, and from what I know President Bubu would do all that is in his power to make sure the vagabonds, the political ebeano boys and girls, the bombois, and the charlatans that fleeced with our billions bringing Nigeria to its knees would surely pay dearly for it. No award trumps the proceedings of the laws of the land. We must win this fight - those who stole our wealth must pay for it!
