The Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide has received with immense joy the news of the historic emergence of Dr. Mrs Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala as the Director General of the World Trade Organization (WTO). Our joy knows no bounds because she is not only the first African but the first woman to clinch the enviable position since the WTO came into existence in 1995.
The Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, led by Ambassador Professor George A Obiozor uses this opportunity to thank President Muhammadu Buhari and all Nigerians for all the supports given to Dr. Mrs Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala. This has once more proved that the only way to advance the course of humanity and compete favourably in the global community is through an unwavering commitment to competence, fairness and excellence.
Nigerians will always recall with nostalgia, the various economic reforms that Okonjo Iweala introduced into the Nigerian financial institutions as a Minister of Finance.
We in the Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide wish you a successful tenure of Office as the Director-General of the World Trade Organization.
Hon. Chiedozie Alex Ogbonnia
National Publicity Secretary, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide
