Okonjo Iweala Beats Liberian President As Africas Most Powerful Woman: Forbes by mordsith: 10:51am On Sep 25, 2016 |
Forbes Magazine has ranked Nigeria’s former Minister of Finance, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala as the 48th most powerful women in the world. Okonjo-Iweala has helped Nigeria’s economy, the largest in Africa, grow an average of 6% (per annum) over three years. She is credited with developing reform programs that helped improve governmental transparency and stabilizing the economy. Okonjo-Iweala is the first woman to be the finance minister and the foreign minister of the West African country with a GDP of $502 billion. But the start of the year has been difficult for Nigeria. The country voted in former general Muhammadu Buhari as president, ousting long-time President Goodluck Jonathan, with the hope he will help fight against the local terrorist group Boko Haram. The Harvard- and M.I.T.-trained Okonjo-Iweala spent 21 years as a development economist at the World Bank. Since the inception of the Forbes top 100 most powerful women in the world in 2004, a number of Nigerians have made the enviable and globally acclaimed Forbes ranking in different categories. Notable among these are Nigerian billionaires Aliko Dangote and Folorunsho Alakija as well as Nigeria’s immediate past Minister of Agriculture and freshly elected President of the African Development Bank. This year, Okonjo-Iweala is ranked 48th on the Forbes list of the world’s most influential women, ahead of World Health Organisation (WHO)’s Director General Margaret Chan, ranked 62nd and Liberian President, Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf at 96th position, among many others. Ngozi Okonjo Iweala shares this rare honour with global icons such as US Presidential Candidate and former Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, ranked number 2 and German Chancellor, Angela Merkel who is ranked as the most powerful woman in the world. www.reportsafrique.com/2016/06/ngozi-okonjo-iweala-ranked-48th-powerful-woman-world-forbes/ 1 Like |
