Matamela Cyril Ramaphosa, President of the Republic of South Africa and Chairperson of the African Union, has congratulated Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala of the Federal Republic of Nigeria on her advancement to the third and final stage of the selection process for the position of the Director-General (DG) of the World Trade Organisation (WTO), saying that the Nigerian was the right person for the job as she is capable of repositioning the WTO.

Dr. Okonjo-Iweala is the first African woman to stand for election and reach the final stage of selection for the WTO DG post.

President Ramaphosa stated: “Dr. Okonjo-Iweala is a highly distinguished African, who has excelled in various public offices, in her native Nigeria, including responsibilities in the AU, and in numerous international assignments.

“At a time when international organisations need to be repurposed, Dr. Okonjo-Iweala is the right person to reposition the WTO in order to be an effective instrument for facilitating a fair, just, equitable and rules-based trading system. I have no doubt that she has the credentials and capability to restore order in an otherwise turbulent multilateral trading system.”

President Ramaphosa encourages all Member States of the African Union to rally behind Dr. Okonjo-Iweala during the final round of nominations, which will see for the first time in the history of the WTO, the appointment of a female Director-General and most likely and preferably, one coming from the African continent.

In this regard, President Ramaphosa has expressed his optimism that other regions and countries will also unite and support the African candidate, whose leadership of the WTO will assist in the full integration of the continent as an important player in the global multilateral trading system, particularly at the time when the Continent is working on operationalising the biggest free trade area in the world, the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).

President Ramaphosa also expressed pride in the high calibre of candidates from the continent, including Mr. Abdel Hamid Mamdouh of Egypt and Ms. Amina Mohamed of Kenya, whom he thanked for availing themselves for the WTO DG selection process.

The President concluded by urging the continent to rally behind Dr. Okonjo-Iweala, by sparing no effort in ensuring that she makes history by being elected as the first African to be at the helm of the WTO.

NOI TO THE WORLD

With all the available facts, Yoo Myung-hee of South Korea is more qualified that NOI...
NOI is presently the DG of one vaccine organization while Yoo Myung-hee is presently the finance boss..she hasn't left the finance scenes for more than decades ago till present...

This is lame. They are both perfectly qualified. NOI is even more than capable!

Naturally, all Nigerians should root for their own, not when it even comes to a sagacious woman as NOI.

Check your facts again. Do you think you can sideline world bank experience?

No, she's not.

Job Position: W Trade O DG
NOI = Nigeria finance minister (minister foreign affairs, economist, world bank MD).
Yoo Myung-hee = South Korea Trade Minister (minister Industry and Energy, FTA negotiator)

Okonjo is more of a financial expert, whereas Yoo is more of a Trade expert. And the job is a Trade work field. So the Korea lady edges out. Both have solid certifications and both are excellent candidates. But based on work experience, the Korea lady is more suited for the position. But based on the power blocs that will decide, Okonjo is more favored. Based on the politics involved, Okonjo is more favored. Who will win? I don't know. I wish both candidates best of luck.

Always wishing Madam NOI all the best in the WTO election....

Nigerians will always be proud of her

Ms. Yoo is much more of a trade specialist.

Her statement to the WTO's general council hinted at a literal lifetime in the area - she said she was born the same year that South Korea acceded to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, which became one of the key elements of the WTO's rule book.

She started her career in the trade, she said, in the year the WTO was born, 1995.

She has been involved in some of South Korea's key trade negotiations in that period, including China and the US. She makes a point of her "deep knowledge and insight into the details of various areas of trade agreements".

NOI equally has a fundamental understanding of Economics.
At her previous role as the MD of World Bank, her experience cuts across trade, economics and public health.

Negotiation, deal advisory and diplomacy are also areas she has been involved in.

To be honest, both of them are qualified. It would be difficult to just sideline anyone of them.

Children of hate you can't even support your own

Okonjo Iwuala is the best and most credible candidate.

A very robust outpouring of support out there from SA President ....

As for the amu up there arguing about Yoo being more qualified...note it today that NOI will be elected come Nov afterwards you are free to continue your hate campaign wherever you are

Elders has spoken

Did you expect Ramaphosa, as the the chair of the AU, to talk against African interests?

Anyway, SA stands to gain most than many in Africa - even Nigeria - if Ngozi heads up the WTO. It's the most globally connected African economy. Plus, it has a direct personal line to NOI.

Bitterness and hatred is implanted in your tribe..
Presently Barakingdo is the chairman of one international petrol organization....his position in this international organization doesn't cause uproar as NOI has been... Why!/....
