Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Nigeria’s former finance minister, has been reappointed as the Director-General of the World Trade Organisation for a second term.
This was disclosed by the WTO in an X post on Friday
“WTO members today agreed to give incumbent Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala a second term as Director-General of the WTO,” the organisation announced.
The 70-year-old Nigerian economist, the only candidate for the role, needed the support or agreement of all 166 WTO members, including the United States, to secure the position.
