“Even solving one problem or building one enterprise can have ripple e — Ngozie Okonjo-Iweala

"So we were not able to save when we should have. That is why you find that Nigeria is now in the situation it is in."

"We have a choice. Either we converge downwards by allowing the virus to drag us all back down, or we converge upwards by vaccinating the world."

"Investing in women is smart economics, and investing in girls, catching them upstream is even smarter economics."

"No one can fight corruption for Nigerians except Nigerians. Everyone has to be committed from the top to the bottom to fight it."

"Its about our common good, because these variants will come back if people are not vaccinated."

"The idea [the governments You Win campaign] is that instead of young people in Nigeria waiting to get employment, they should create their own jobs and employ their peers and employ other people."
