Governor Abiodun charged the New Director General, World Trade Organization (WTO), Dr. Ngozi Okonjo – Iweala to see her emergence and success as not only personal or for Nigerian, but that of the African continent as a whole.
Governor Abiodun gave this advice while congratulating the two-time Finance Minister of Nigeria, on her victory as the DG, WTO, just as he appreciated her for making the nation proud.
In his message, Abiodun said Okonjo Iweala’s victory as the first African woman to win the global international organization position came as a result of her hard work, resilience and dedication to duty.
He stated: “We are very proud and confident that you will bring your wealth of experience and spheres of influence to bear towards repositioning the organization for greater results.”
Describing the victory as a well deserved one, Governor Abiodun prayed for God’s wisdom for the newly elected Director General and wished her outstanding success in her new endeavors.
Gov Abiodun further lauded President Muhammadu Buhari for his deft diplomatic support that ensured the success of the Nigerian candidate.
