Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu, the wife of Rotimi Akeredolu, Ondo
state governor, has gushed over photos of Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala with US President
Joe Biden.
On Sunday, Okonjo-Iweala took to X to share photos of
herself and the US president on the sidelines of the G20 summit in New Delhi,
India.
In the post, Biden could be seen taking selfies with
Okonjo-Iweala who is the director-general of the World Trade Organisation
(WTO).
Biden also took photos of Okonjo-Iweala as she posed with
some members of her team and Jake Sullivan, national security advisor to the US
president.
Okonjo-Iweala described the moment as “great”. She also said
the US president “surprised us by taking a photo of me, my staff and
@JakeSullivan46”.
Reacting to the photos via X on Monday, the first lady of
Ondo said she was surprised Okonjo-Iweala was able to turn Biden into a
“photographer”.
Making reference to Okonjo-Iweala’s feat, Betty also
admonished Nigerian parents to ensure their daughters go to school, adding that
“female education is not waste”.
“Come and see Naija
wonder: Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala turning US President to a photographer,” she wrote.
“If you like, don’t go and pay your daughter’s school fees.
Nigerians can you see that female education is not a waste?! Women can be
more!”
