Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, a well-known Nigerian economist and financial expert, reacts to a little Nigerian girl that dressed like her on Career Day.
The young girl’s mother dressed up her daughter to wear Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala’s signature native dress, complete with rimmed glasses and a hair tie.
The little girl’s mother felt it appropriate to model her daughter after Okonjo-Iweala since the WTO Director-General is undoubtedly well-known for her excellence in the financial sector.
Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala expressed her happiness at the gesture after seeing the photos.
She prayed that the young girl would succeed in her career even more than she, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, had in hers.
She wrote:
“Delighted to get this photo of a young 3 year old girl, who I don’t even know, dressed for her schools Career Day as Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala. What a fun thing to see! I pray for her and all young girls that their careers will be even more successful than mine!”
