IN SHORT

Ambassador Aminu Bashir Wali has lived a long and fulfilling life, always working hard to create opportunity for himself and for others. His rich, varied background in the private sector paved the way for his involvement in politics and eventually as a Nigerian ambassador. He has worked at the UN in New York and also played a pivotal role in expanding relations between Nigeria and China. “There is no country on earth like Nigeria, no country has so much diversification – and I love everything about it. I want to see this country achieve its potential, to see it become a first world power.”
