South Korea's candidate for the Director-General of the World Trade Organisation (WTO), Yoo Myung-Hee has announced she will withdraw from the race, clearing the path for Nigeria's Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala who the General Council announced late last year as the consensus candidate.

The World Trade Organization’s General Council Chair David Walker announced in October last year that Nigeria’s Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala had garnered the most support among WTO members to become the next global trade chief, but was vetoed by the United States.



SOURCE

NOI, as she is fondly called, will be the first female and first African to head the WTO if affirmed by its 164 members.

PS: @YooMyunghee1's withdrawal does not mean @NOIweala immediately becomes the @wto's next Director-General.

That appointment is taken in a formal decision by the WTO's 164 members.

Since the U.S. is the only @wto member blocking @NOIweala's candidacy the key question now is whether the Biden administration will reverse the Trump administration's veto and support @NOIweala

Absent opposition from any WTO members, the chairman of the WTO general council, David Walker, can announce the resumption of the @wto's suspended October general council meeting to consider the appointment of a new Director-General.

You mean first African American to head WTO

You should have asked politely since you don't know the place. cheesy

Anyways, I can't recalled the name again. Cos it's been a while I last visited Og. I went there with a friend of mine who was schooling at Abraka at the time. And what I beheld was a sorry sight. (don't know about now though)

But the stadium is located at the road to Isah, just before the drug office.

Just take your time to go have look. And see the stadium that arguably the most celebrated footballer in the country built his fatherland.

And you surely will no longer have a reason to be 'proud' cheesy

You claim to know Dr ngozi okonjo father's compound and that road is not motorable,so for you to say such mean that you don't know ogwashi uku because if you do you wouldn't have type that nonsense.

And so isah road is not also motorable? cheesy please always try to leave your bush urhobo land before you talk nonsense.

Lolz.

Seems you're the type that will know, and still try to twist the truth. cheesy

I didn't say Isah Road is not motorable. I said the stadium built by ur legendary Austin Jay Jay Okocha at that location is an eyesore.

I hold nothing against Ogwashi-Uku(they are actually a wonderful people).

My point is that Ogwashi-Uku deserves more from the many 'big stars' they produce. Hence, they are not worth being proud of.

And what makes you think am from urhobo. grin

Why are you confusing yourself? You first said that the route to Dr ngozi father's compound is bad,I clear your lies.you again state that isah road is not motorable I still clear you,now you're talking about stadium built by okocha please how many ex international built stadium in their village? We are proud of the stadium jay jay okocha built for ogwashi people.

Let me still clear you, 70% of roads in ogwashi are motorable, we have one of the best general hospital in Delta state, we have about 5 government secondary school in ogwashi, we have about 7 primary school in ogwashi, we have state polytechnic in ogwashi, we have Nigeria Navy school in ogwashi. So what are you talking about?

And of cause you're urhobo man.
