Former Minister of Finance, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, has been named as one of the new board members of the social media giant, Twitter.
The rather good announcement was first made by Twitter CEO and co-founder Jack Dorsey on his handle.
We’re adding Ngozi (@NOIweala) and Bob (@authorzoellick) to the Twitter board. Welcome! Sadly we’re also saying farewell to our friend Marjorie (@marjscar). She’s been an amazing advocate for journalists everywhere, and pushed us constantly to better inform people. Thank you M.
