Iyabo Masha, a former member of the Nigerian Presidential Economic Advisory Council (PEAC), has taken office as the Director and head of secretariat of the Intergovernmental Group of Twenty-Four (G24).
Based in Washington, the G24 comprises nations collaborating to coordinate the positions of developing countries on monetary, financial and development matters.
Dr. Masha replaces Marilou Uy, an erstwhile senior adviser of the World Bank and G24’s director of secretariat from 2015 until her recent exit. The new appointee emerged after what the institution called “an extensive recruitment process.”
