President Muhammadu Buhari is currently meeting with former Minister of Finance and Coordinator of the Economy, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
Recall that on October 7, 2020, the World Trade Organization had announced Nigeria’s Okonjo-Iweala and South Korea’s Yoo Myung-hee to have advanced to the final round in the race to be its Director-general.
The two female contenders are gunning to be the first woman to lead the 25-year-old organisation.
She was accompanied to the Villa by Minister of Foreign Affairs, Geoffrey Onyeama and the Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Niyi Adebayo and the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Zubair Dada.
President Buhari has since expressed his support and that of his administration to her effort to clinch the plum post.
Her visit to the Pesidential villa is apparently connected to the election.
