ECOWAS supports Okonjo-Iweala for WTO job

DR.NGOZI OKONJO IWEALA

The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has thrown its weight behind the candidature of former Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala for the top job of the World Trade Organisation (WTO).

The regional body claimed that no African has assumed the position of Director-General of the Organisation since its creation on 1st January 1995.

A statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs disclosed that the decision has the support of its highest body, the ECOWAS authority of Heads of States and Government.

The body however, beckons on other African countries as well as non-African countries to support her candidature.

The statement reads: “The Ministry of Foreign Affairs wishes to inform that the ECOWAS Authority of Heads of State and Government have endorsed the candidature of Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala for the position of Director-General of the World Trade Organization (WTO), for the period 2021-2025.
