Here is what she wrote on her Facebook status:

I am honored by my nomination and the support of multiple African Nations to make the World Bank more representative of the people it serves.

As an employee of the Bank for 22 years, I know of its commitment to improving the lives of those in developing world. It is that passion that inspires me to do the most I can for Nigeria as the Minister of Finance.
