The Career Diplomat Mrs.Vivian Okeke who recently made waves in the media over
her unconvincing recitation of the national anthem during the ambassadorial screening recently was endorsed by United States Ambassador Robert C. Perry for her excellent accomplishment while representing Nigeria as Director of International Trade Relations working with the United States Government and the Barack Obama-led administration.
This was revealed in an opinion piece published by foremost online news plaftorm Premium Times. The United States Ambassador and former US Secertary on African Affairs stated that;
"The first time I worked with Mrs. Okeke was on CCA’s March 2011 Nigeria Investment Power Forum co-hosted with the Embassy of Nigeria. Mrs. Okeke was the Economic, Trade and Investment Minister Counselor at the Nigerian embassy in Washington, DC, under the late Ambassador Adebowale Adefuye.
"We worked closely as a team to plan the Forum, and Mrs. Okeke followed up relentlessly to ensure the participation of senior Nigerian government officials and business leaders to tell the story of investment opportunities in Nigeria’s power sector. The success of the March 2011 Nigeria Investment Power Forum planted the seed for the February 2012 power sector trade mission led by the Africa Bureau of the U.S. State Department and CCA to five African countries, including Nigeria."
