So much has been said and written about the person of Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala. She is one of the most popular women in Africa today and there are good reasons for that. This is not just due to her previous political appointments as two-time Minister of Finance and one-time Minister of Foreign Affairs of the largest and most populous black nation on earth, and we cannot equally say this is only because of her record as the Managing Director of the World Bank.

Okonjo-Iweala, who stated this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Geneva, also thanked ECOWAS for endorsing her candidacy as the race for the WTO Director General’s position enters the selection phase.
This prodding brought to mind the phone call I had received on the evening of March 20, 2013 from her when she was Finance Minister, complaining about an article I had written about her on a number of appointments that had then been made in the Nigerian economic sector in a major national newspaper. While I had thanked her for the call, I refrained from tendering an apology for what I still consider as the objective commentary I made in that article.
