Congrats, Madam WTO
Nigeria's Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala was appointed Monday as the first female and first African head of the World Trade Organization, at a special general meeting.
"WTO members have just agreed to appoint Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala as the next director-general," the global trade body said in a statement, adding that the former Nigerian finance minister and World Bank veteran will take up her post on March 1.
We want to wish her solid execution and service to the world of trade. May her policies improve the huge trades in Oriendu Market in Abia state, Nigeria, from palm oil to garri.
