Supporters of the first woman and first African poised to become head of the World Trade Organization (WTO) are paying tribute to her achievements by dressing up as her.
Businesswoman Temie Giwa-Tubosun has pledged 100,000 naira ($262; £189) to the "best-dressed" impersonator of Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala.
Ms Giwa-Tubosun tweeted the message along with a tongue-in-cheek video of herself talking in character, extolling the importance of the economy and jobs.
