Meet Our Speaker

Amina Smaila, Consul General, Nigeria

Ambassador Amina Smaila comes to Atlanta with 19 years of experience in the Nigerian foreign service, the last three years spent as deputy director of Nigeria’s mission to the United Nations in Geneva. Previous assignments include a six-year stint at the UN headquarters in New York.    

There, Dr. Smaila, who earned a Ph.D. in international relations, supported the successful candidacy of Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala for director-general of the World Trade Organization, the first woman and the first African to lead a body that many believe is in dire need of reform. 

Dr. Smaila believes that priorities that the U.S. promotes in Nigeria with $500 million in annual aid, such as security and health care, can only be solidified by a firmer economic partnership.
