Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, the Finance Minister and the brain behind the government’s economic reforms, was redeployed to head the Foreign Ministry, in a move widely seen as punishment, as Obasanjo has dominated foreign policy-making throughout his tenure.
Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, ministra de Hacienda e inspiradora de las reformas económicas del gobierno, ha sido trasladada para que encabece el ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores, iniciativa que se ha considerado de forma general un castigo, pues Obasanjo se ha encargado de la formulación de la política exterior a lo largo de todo su mandato.
