Minister of Finance, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, has been named one of the
world's 50 greatest leaders by the American magazine,Fortune.
She was ranked at number 33. Here is what the publication said about her:
"A magna cum laude Harvard grad who holds a Ph.D. from MIT,
Okonjo-Iweala has helped usher in a GDP-trebling decade of Nigerian
prosperity. "She is a fearless promoter of sound economic policies,"
says Witney Schneidman, a former deputy assistant secretary of state
for African affairs. No wonder Nigeria's two-term finance minister--and
first woman in the role-- has been considered a top contender to run
the World Bank one day."
Others on the list including Taylor Swift, Pope Francis, Ellen
Johnson-Sirleaf, Mark Zuckerburg, and more.
