Governor of Abia State, Okezie Ikpeazu has drummed support for Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala’s appointment as the Director-General of the World Trade Organisation, WTO.
Ikpeazu expressed that Okonjo-Iweala’s victory will be a huge win for women and trade.
He made this remark in a tweet on his official Twitter page.
This is coming at a time the United States of America rejected her emergence, arguing that the WTO must be handled by someone who is experienced in trading, hence their preference for South Korea’s Myung-hee.
