She was recently listed as one of the most powerful women in the world.
Her name conjures up the image of an Amazon who symbolises excellence
and the height of intellectual achievement. She is by no means a role
model and a worthy example of the level Nigerian women can attain if
given the opportunity to excel.
There is also no doubt that the Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi
Okonjo-Iweala, is one of Nigeria’s proud exports. One cannot but admire
her simplicity and self-effacing demeanour. Personally, I am in awe of
her spartan fashion style. It portrays a woman not given to vanities or
the mundane.
