Recently, a Nigerian Cambridge scholar called out an ABSU graduate who criticized her statement that 98% of Nigerian men cannot emulate the husband of Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, the esteemed Director-General of the World Trade Organization. Okonjo-Iweala's husband, Dr. Ikemba Iweala, has been lauded for his support and success as a medical professional, which has significantly contributed to her own achievements.
The Cambridge scholar defended her stance by highlighting the exceptional qualities and support system provided by Okonjo-Iweala's husband, suggesting that such qualities are rare among Nigerian men. This led to a heated exchange on social media, with the ABSU graduate accusing her of generalizing and undermining Nigerian men.
Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, a globally respected economist and leader, has received numerous accolades and honors for her contributions to global economics and leadership, including the African Heritage Award for 2024. Her family, including her supportive husband, has been a cornerstone of her success, underscoring the importance of a strong support system in achieving professional and personal milestones
