The United Kingdom-based Chevening Scholarship has removed the embattled former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke, from its list of female achievers, according to a report by Sahara Reporters.
Chevening is an international
scholarship scheme which enables students with leadership qualities from
144 countries and territories to undertake postgraduate study or
courses in universities in the UK.
After receiving a Chevening scholarship
in 2002, Diezani attended Cambridge University for her MBA and then
returned to Nigeria where she became the first female Executive Director
of Shell Petroleum Development Company.
After emerging as the first woman to
hold the position of Minister of Petroleum Resources in Nigeria and the
first female President of the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting
Countries, Chevening on its website, listed her as one of its best
female alumni in commemoration of the March 8 International Women’s Day.
Diezani was listed among other international and accomplished women like the Vice President, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, Wang li; a former Minister for Social Development in Jordan, Hala Bsaisu Lattouf; and a Deputy Minister of Civil Affairs of Bosnia and Hertzegovina, Denisa Sarajlic-Maglic.
