Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala Making the Impossible Possible

Greetings, fellow readers, and people around the world! Featuring one remarkable woman—Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala—today, we will look into the inspiring world of international development. Hold on a second; there’s more! Here we explore the pages of David M. de Ferranti’s Reformers in International Development: Five Remarkable Lives to learn how Ngozi and four other remarkable change-makers worked through the intricate world of global development.

Ngozi’s story is the perfect example of how someone can make what seems impossible doable. Ngozi has continuously broken barriers and created pathways throughout her life, from her humble beginnings in Nigeria to her key roles as Finance Minister and then as Director-General of the World Trade Organization (WTO).

This book by David gives an in-depth look at Ngozi’s life, showing her dedication to promoting good both at home and abroad. David gives us a glimpse into Ngozi’s journey to success by describing his tactics, struggles, and victories. She has always been dedicated to locally-driven development, and it is what makes Ngozi unique. Instead of going along with the flow, she dared to shake things up. From reshaping Nigeria’s economy to working for a balanced trade policy at the World Trade Organization, Ngozi never gave up on what was truly important: her country and its people. It’s not just about Ngozi’s professional achievements, though. It’s also about the power of leadership and sticking with something even when things get hard. Reading this book has served as a constant reminder that the only people who can bring about lasting change are those who aren’t afraid to dream big and take risks.

So, Reformers in International Development: Five Remarkable Lives (available on the official website, Barnes & Noble or Amazon) is an absolute must-read for everyone searching for motivation and knowledge about the field of global development. Come and be a part of our celebration of Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala as we examine her amazing capacity to achieve what seems impossible.
