Ptesident Muhammadu Buhari has assured a former Minister of Finance, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, of maximum support in her bid for the leadership of the World Trade Organisation.
He told her during a meeting in Abuja:
“I assure you that we will do all that we can to ensure that you emerge as the Director-General of WTO, not only because you are a Nigerian, but because you are a hardworking Nigerian. You deserve this. I did the same for Dr Akinwunmi Adesina for President of the African Development Bank. Both of you served the country under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). You are both highly qualified. We will continue to support you. I will immediately make those calls.”
