President Muhammadu Buhari has felicitated with the former Minister of Finance and Economy, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala on her election as Director General of the World Trade Organisation (WTO).
Buhari noted that the appointment has brought joy and more honour to the country.
A statement issued by Garba Shehu, Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to the President, reads, “As the Harvard-educated and renowned economist takes up another onerous task of service to the world and humanity, the President believes her track record of integrity, diligence and passion for development will continue to yield positive results and rewards to mankind”.
President Buhari affirmed that Dr Okonjo-Iweala, who over the years set major records of economic reforms in Nigeria as Minister of Finance, and later Minister of Foreign Affairs, would excel in her new position and validate the global mandate of repositioning and strengthening the multilateral institution for the greater good of all.
He wish the new WTO DG well in her new endeavour.
