Ifeoma Nwankwo, Member of the Board of Governing Council, University of Ibadan, Oyo State, has congratulated Dr. (Mrs) Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala on her re-emergence for a second term as Director General of the World Trade Organisation (WTO).
Okonjo—Iweala emerged as the sole candidate for the exalted position from a selection process, which has allowed her to remain in the office for another term.
Recall that the Delta State-born technocrat and international personality was the first female to ascend to such an exalted and enviable global office.
In a statement on Saturday, Nwankwo said the re-appointment of Okonjo–Iweala was a further testament to the calibre of content Nigerians are composed of and the quality of contributions to global growth and development.
“ I wish her all the best in her current appointment as she consolidates in office to innovate optimum valued services for the global trade community.”
Nwankwo continued, “ I must also congratulate Nigeria and Nigerians on the attainment and sustainability of this rare feat achieved by Dr Ngozi and numerous other well-meaning Nigerians.”
