What Okonjo-iweala's Appoinment As WTO Boss Could Mean For Africa by thefederationng: 10:32am On Feb 06, 2021
Former Nigeria’s minister of finance, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala is set to become the first African, woman to lead the seat of 164-member World Trade Organisation.

Coast is clear for her to emerge for the top job as the United States government under the administration of President Joe Biden endorsed her on Friday, in what was expressed as a ‘strong support’, according to a statement issued by the US Trade Representative.

All directions pointed towards Okonjo-Iweala as she is now the only candidate contesting for the position following the withdrawal of her opponent Yoo Myung-hee from the bid.

Yoo’s withdrawal is contained in a statement issued by the South Korean Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy on Friday.

She is the current Minister for Trade of South Korea.
