Nigeria’s Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala and South Korea’s Yoo Myung-hee — are the final two candidates to lead the World Trade Organization (WTO). A woman has never served as director general in it’s 25-year history.

WTO will likely have the first female director general in its 25-year history.

“They’re both very well qualified, it’s going to be a fight,” said William Reinsch, a trade official in the Clinton administration and senior adviser at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. The top challenge will be “restoring the organization to full strength and viability, and restoring its reputation. “You need members to have confidence that the WTO is capable of solving problems. I think right now that confidence is eroded.”

Okonjo-Iweala served as Nigeria’s finance minister and one term as foreign affairs minister.

She has also sat on the Boards of Standard Chartered Bank, Twitter, Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI), and the African Risk Capacity (ARC)

Yoo is South Korea’s trade minister. During her 25-year career in government, she has helped expand her country’s trade network through bilateral accords with the U.S., China and the U.K.

WTO General Council Chairman David Walker plans to formally announce the results to the institution’s delegates on Thursday morning in Geneva.

Use your sense for once. Was she nominated by your Biafran state?
The President of Nigeria nominated her not the President of Igbo. Half-baked
