Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala speaks on #BringBackOurGirls (WATCH)
Nigeria’s Finance Minister Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala recently spoke to an ABC News reporter on #BringOurGirlsBack
While the minister was clearly exasperated by the unscheduled interview as she stepped out of a session at the World Economic Forum
in Abuja and mentioned being tired of the ‘Same Story”, she did make it
clear that the Nigerian government is fully committed and putting every
effort into finding the girls including the creation of a crisis centre
, Safe Schools Initiative, aerial surveillance and more.
In addition, she empathized that “terror
will win when you divide”. She mentioned that Boko Haram attempted to
stop the WEF from taking place in Abuja but didn’t succeed, therefore
“Terror has lost”. She also commended world leaders for attending the
WEF in Abuja despite the threats. In the end, politely excuses herself,
she walks away and directs the reporter to the Minister of Defense.
