Fortune Magazine has named Coordinating Minister of the Economy and Minister of Finance, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, as one of the world’s 50 greatest leaders.
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 include Taylor Swift, Pope Francis, Lebron James, Mark Zuckerburg, and more. Find the full list from the Fortune site here.
