On Thursday, the Federal Government inaugurated a campaign strategy team for Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala as she contests for the position of Director-General of the World Trade Organisation, TopNaija reports.




The Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Richard Adebayo, inaugurated the team in Abuja and said the creation of a campaign strategy group was vital in ensuring that the Nigerian candidate emerged as the DG of the WTO. The minister disclosed this in a statement issued in Abuja by his ministry’s Assistant Director of Information, Oluwakemi Ogunmakinwa.

The statement was titled “Adebayo inaugurates campaign strategy team for Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala’s post for DG WTO.”

Adebayo said the decision of the President Buhari to nominate Okonjo-Iweala as Nigeria’s candidate for the position was taken in good faith based on the overriding consideration of the need to boost Africa’s chance and for the promotion of gender mainstreaming at the world’s top trade post.

Meanwhile, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala has presented her manifesto before the members of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) on Wednesday, as she asks to be selected as the next director-general.

After a 90-minute interaction with the WTO members, Okonjo-Iweala addressed the press and also shared her vision for the WTO. She was the second candidate and the first woman to make such a presentation at the WTO headquarters for this round of DG selection.

Some call him the most hilarious comedian in Nigeria, while others simply regard him as The Lord of The Ribs. He is one of Africa’s funniest men who has proved himself over and over again… Basketmouth’s talent has led him all the way from the tough streets of Ajegunle to comedy’s center stage. Bright Okpocha opens up to Isaac Oladipupo on his escapade with ladies, regrets of having a child out of wedlock and plans to walk down the aisle this year…

Thinking back to your childhood, what was the definite major career you desired to pursue?
My memory is quite dusty, but every child’s dream including mine was to become a Doctor, Pilot, Actor, Musician etc. I know I used to live in a world of fantasy back then. At a point, I wanted to be a comedian after I watched Eddy Murphy’s Delirious. That career was what I lived with more as it wasn’t far from my reach because I was a funny lad with funny stories and the one always making people laugh.

When did you first know you were funny?
I still don’t think I’m funny because I really don’t make myself laugh as such. I just knew I was funny to people when I noticed that my gist always brought a laughter or two.
