Former President Goodluck Jonathan has congratulated ex-Minister of Finance, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala on her appointment into the economic advisory council of South Africa.

Jonathan, in a message on his verified social media accounts, said he has no doubt that the former World Bank Executive will succeed in her appointment.

Jonathan wrote, “I congratulate Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala who served as the co-ordinating minister for the economy/finance minister in my cabinet, on her appointment as a member of South Africa’s Presidential Economic Advisory Council.

“As a two-time minister in Nigeria you left indelible marks as an astute manager of the nation’s economy and resources. I am delighted that you have continued to place your substantial wealth of experience as a development economist at the service of many nations and international organisations to aid global growth and progress.

“I have no doubt in my mind that you will excel in the new assignment.
GEJ.”
