Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that a young man named Bamaiya had painted Okonjo Iweala on a big wall.

Recall that it was this same young man that painted different types of naira notes months ago where he wore masks on the popular faces on the currencies. He sketched and painted popular Nigerian celebrities like Davido and Laycon.

In his current art, he shared three different snaps that captured the creation process. In one of the snaps, Okonjo-Iweala was just sketched. Another showed him applying paint while the third has Bamaiya posing beside the finished work.
