Kemi Filani recalls that Ngozi Iweala’s WTO DG confirmation happened at the General Council’s special meeting on Monday, after a thorough selection process involving eight qualified candidates from around the world.
Ngozi’s appointment was announced on the official Twitter handle of the World Trade Organisation, WTO.
The Tweets reads, “Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala from Nigeria is appointed as the next WTO Director-General.
“Her term starts on the 1st of March 2021.”
The former minister of finance is the first African and woman to head the Organisation since its creation.
