Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, the former minister for the economy will be honoured by Aspen Institute
The event is the fifth annual Madeleine K. Albright Global Development Lecture taking Aspen campus.
Mrs. Iweala will be the fifth person to recieve such honour.
In 2016, Mary Robinson, the first female president of Ireland, was also honoured in the same manner.
The lecture, set to hold late Wednesday evening at Paepcke Auditorium, describes Okonjo-Iweala, in recognition, as “an exceptional individual whose vision has provided breakthrough thinking to tackle the challenges of global development”.
Okonjo-Iweala will be featured alongside Madeleine Jana Korbel Albright, the former US secretary of state and first woman to assume the position, in a conversation with moderator Peggy Clark of the Aspen Institute.
Recall that last week, the 63-year old was appointed independent non-executive director of Standard Chartered, a British multinational banking and financial services company headquartered in London, England and with presence in 70 countries.
