Okonjo iweala honoured alongside us vice president and bill gates

I think there may be some confusion here!

Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala is a Nigerian economist and international development expert who was recently appointed as the Director-General of the World Trade Organization (WTO). She is the first woman and the first African to hold this position.

However, I'm not aware of any information that suggests she was honored alongside the US Vice President and Bill Gates. It's possible that you may be thinking of a different event or occasion.

If you could provide more context or clarify what you're referring to, I'd be happy to try and help you further!
