Former president Goodluck
Jonathan has congratulated Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, former minister of Finance, who
served under his administration, on her appointment into the board of Twitter.
The former Nigerian minister was
announced on Thursday as one of the independent directors on Twitter’s board.
Okonjo-Iweala will be replacing
Marjorie Scardino, the former Chief Executive of Pearson.
Reacting to the appointment,
Jonathan said his former minister deserves the appointment.
In a Facebook post, the former
president said Okonjo-Iweala managed the finances of Nigeria very well as
minister.
He wrote: “I am not surprised
that Dr. Mrs. Ngozi Okonjo Iweala has been appointed into the board of Twitter.
“If anyone merits such an
appointment, it is definitely a woman who helped her nation manage its finances
most prudently and was instrumental to pulling many millions out of poverty.
“Ngozi, I am proud of you. You
served Nigeria most meritoriously and I am more than certain that you would do
the same at Twitter. Congratulations.”
