as if okonjo can do it. what transformation have you seen from her so far in all her positions?

SIRTee15:


Well, personally I wont envy the next DG of WTO....
America has threatened to pull out of WTO, if china's status as a developing economy is not reviewed.....
I'm not really sure how much of help the status of developing economy offers china, but I agree its a disservice for china to claim it's still a developing country.....
Angah is an insider and I'm not convinced he has the courage to muster the reform that WTO really needs....
WTO needs an outsider to reorganise the institution and ensure its relevance in this globalisation era.....

a public private partnership? any proof. i thought it was public by the govt where too much money went down for little. Npower is a better replacement. youWin was okonjo's design.

I am not against Igbo neither her appointment. Infact I support it, but what I don't like is your attitude (Igbos). If Buhari chooses her because of competence, then it's a good thing.

But rather than welcome the news in positive light and wish her success, you guys be like "it's because there's no other option bla bla bla." Always viewing things from the negative side. Common.


My brother go and check the comments of people from your tribe and see the type of hate and bitterness they are spewing against this woman.

They even went to the extent of saying she's not of Igbo extraction, common that's an insult to a race of people. See check very well hardly you see the real Igbos insulting first except when they're being maligned.

Yes the Igbos have pride but who won't when you live in a system where you're marginalized but yet you still beat every odds to become successful in life.

Make una no vex, it's the goal of an average Igbo man to become successful in life in order to affect his immediate environment positively. It's called the principles of UJAMAA, a socialist system of village cooperatives based on equality of opportunity and self-help that had it's roots in early Tanzania.

Kudos to the president for this kind gesture. At least, Igbos can now let us rest on this forum. Those among them praying for the downfall of Adesina simply because he’s from the south west can now get preoccupied with praying for their Igbo daughter’s success.

I can also bet nobody will talk about nepotism on this thread. The fact that the president withdrew support from Yonov Agah, a Nigerian from the north central and now supports an Igbo lady should not go unnoticed. If it was the other way round, the fury of hell fire would be a child’s play to what they would bring down tonight. I wish her the best in the election.

Bros which kind post be this? Who can pray for anything to happen to Adeshina?? Do we have anyone else better? Pls, this kind imagination is wrong. No, matter how divided we are as a nation, we know when merit should be placed above sentiments

Adesina is loved by us all, we don't hate, we know who is who and the fact remains that adesina is a good man
Stupidly go and hide your face in shame, always looking for a slight opportunity to instigate hate

Stop all this chest beating. Everybody knows that the woman is overrated .

She performed woefully as the coordinating Minister for Jonathan and left the economy in a mess.

As minister of finance she watched as Desiani Madueke, Sambo Dasuki, Secundus , Mama Peace, Bello Haliru and a host of them drained the treasury.

From her performance, I wouldn’t recommend her for the position of Wuse Market women President let alone DG Of World Trade Organization.

This statement of "everyone" is just a joke.

If you can name one Nigerian more qualified for this international nomination and defend your position with logic, not emotions or hearsay, then we can start talking.

Because that mama is raw talent and sheer world class... and it's for a global role, that needs her country's attestation.

That's basically the world asking Buhari "is she Nigeria's finest for this role?" And Buhari knowing the absolute truth, admitting to that.

Google her cv.

For now sentiments aside, I don't know anyone up to her standard.

President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the nomination of Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, former coordinating minister for the economy, for the position of director-general of the World Trade Organisation (WTO), TheCable can report.

In a document seen by TheCable on Thursday, Buhari withdrew the candidacy of Yonov Frederick Agah, Nigeria’s permanent representative to WTO, for the same position.

The election is scheduled to hold in Geneva, Switzerland in 2021 for a four-year term that would run from 2021 to 2025 after Roberto Azevedo, former director-general of the organisation stepped down a year to the end of his second term.

“The embassy of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and permanent mission to the African Union (AU) and United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA) presents compliments to all embassies and permanent missions in Addis Ababa and has the honour to inform that the Federal Government of Nigeria has withdrawn the candidacy of Ambassador Yonov Frederick Agah for election to the position of director-general of the World Trade Organisation (WTO),” the letter seen by TheCable read.

“Nigeria is therefore pleased to request the support of esteemed AU member states as well as permanent missions and embassies in Addis Ababa in favour of the candidacy of Okonjo-Iweala.”

Agah is Nigeria’s permanent representative to the WTO and WTO’s deputy director-general.

Okonjo-Iweala currently chairs the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI), a public-private global health partnership with the goal of increasing access to immunisation in poor countries.

She also sits on the board of Twitter and is a former managing director (operations) at the World Bank.

On March 7, President Cyril Ramaphosa of South Africa appointed her a member of the country’s economic advisory council.

A month later on April 10, Kristalina Georgieva, the managing director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), named Okonjo-Iweala a member of the fund’s external advisory group.

Okonjo-Iweala is one of the four special envoys appointed by the African Union (AU) on April 12 to mobilise international support for its efforts toward addressing the coronavirus pandemic.

In 2012, she contested to become World Bank president becoming the first female and first black candidate.

She was listed among one of the top 100 most powerful women in the world by Forbes four consecutive times from 2011 to 2014. She was also listed as one of the top 100 most influential people in the world by TIME magazine in 2014.
