Nigeria's first female Finance Minister, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala expressed gratitude to former US officials who urged President Biden to endorse her selection by the World Trade Organisation (WTO) as Director-General.

My thanks to these remarkable leaders for expressing their views! The @wto has a critical role to play in making the Multilateral Trading System part of the solution to #covid19 pandemic, and no time to waste.

Let’s get to work on global recovery!

Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala

The selection of Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala to lead the WTO was not backed by the Trump administration after she won support across the globe.

The Trump administration through its Trade Representative, Robert Lighthizer, blocked the WTO's selection of Okonjo-Iweala and indeed backed her opponent Yoo Myung-Hee, citing the former's trade inexperience; a position many a people differ on.

Iweala was tipped to take over from Frenchman, Pascal Lamy as WTO-DG in 2013 but declined.

A cross-section of former senior U.S. Government officials, including a Nobel Laureate, along with academicians and civil society leaders, had written to President Biden in support of the election of Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala as WTO-DG.

Igbo amaka!
ngozi chukwu is a brilliant woman.
i said it earlier that times five of trump will never obstruct her becoming the directory general of the world trade organization.
congrates to her once again.

This is the same woman Buhammadu Muhari dropped as finance minister

Congratulations mam, you are a big beneficiary of Biden's victory, a sign that God is backing you up.

Just like Pharaoh has to die for Moses to fulfill destiny and Herod has to die for Jesus to return from Egypt, God has to made sure Trump lose the election for you to become the head of WTO.

Cool

Ok

God bless NOI

Good. NOI, you have my vote though Trump who never supported you also had my vote. I believe you are good for the position the same way I believe that Trump is good for America and world sanity.

Who come be your own role model. Onyeaka Owenu I guess

Okonjo-Iweala, nwa Biafra, onye highway!

While some Igbos were foolishly supporting Trump, he was busy sabotaging the chances of Okonjo Iweala. It is Biden that those Idiotic Igbos demonised that is now supporting Ngozi.

Traders and artisans should not be allowed to dictate Igbo alliances and policy. It should be left for sensible technocrats.

Truth is ppl like this wont function well in political post in a country like Nigeria, same goes to Akinwunmi, but on the global scale they remain one of the best.

Mama d Mama we are with you all the step of the way

They're already doing that. But it's not a recovery plan with Africans in it because America and European countries only are the one getting the COVID-19 medication first, not African countries.

The question I'll ask you is; why?

All of a sudden she is an American.
Is our God not great!.
