CNBC Africa today acknowledged their mistake and
apologized to the former minister on the error made yesterday where
they had insisted that Arunma Oteh was World Bank first African woman
VP. Mrs Ezekwesili has since accepted their apology. Excerpt of an
apology posted in an article on their website below ...
"Oteh however is not the first African woman to be appointed to powerful
positions at the World Bank. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala was one of its
managing directors (October 2007–July 2011) and Obiageli Ezekwesili, was
vice president Africa Region (May 2007-May 2012)"
