A fair litany of questions have been asked, but before the ambassador answers them, having read her extremely extensive curriculum vitae, I would like first to congratulate her as ambassador. I note that she will probably have found some of the questions to be highly challenging, given her extensive political and medical experience on behalf of women in Nigeria. She has written a manual for women politicians entitled "Playing to Win", among other things. The ambassador is highly experienced and her curriculum vitae shows her to be a strong humanitarian and a strong advocate for women's rights. As she has heard the criticisms and the questions posed, members will be fascinated to hear her response.
