WTO DG: Nigeria Reaches Out To U.S., South Korea To Overcome Impasse

Nigeria is currently reaching out to all members of the World Trade Organisation in its bid to ensure Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala becomes the next Director-General of the global trade body.

Katagum noted that this was to persuade the countries, especially the U.S. to join the consensus in adopting the recommendation of the appointment of Dr Okonjo-Iweala, Nigeria’s former Minister of Finance, as WTO DG. A file photo of the Minister of State for Industry, Trade and Investment, Ambassador Mariam Katagum, Photo: Twitter- @TradeInvestNGKatagum, who chairs the Campaign Strategy Team for Nigeria’s DG-WTO candidate, hinted that the team held an emergency virtual meeting on Friday.

I pray she gets the WTO job, despite the U.S block.

Dear Donald trump please don’t give that post to her,she hasn’t done anything for Nigeria they’re all greedy selfish and wicked leaders they only care about themselves our country is bleeding 🩸 please give it to South Korea 🇰🇷

But if you look it critically you will see they are bad themselves nd they av not in anyway benefited the country though the country has benefited em in one way or the other.Nigeria has big stake in the international community and among comity of Nations but most Nigerians knw nt

No one should have less than 100k followers on this platform🙅‍♀️ We need each other to grow our followers😋 Follow me I follow back asap🤗 No delay🔊

It is only in my country our citizens belief the country has no international pedigree. These citizens do not believe the country has any worth. To them the country represent everything that is worst on the earth. They claimed the govt has neva benefited them.

Nigeria should have stayed away, they will complicate her chances with all the mess going on in the country. Poor economic policies, inability to attract foreign investment and a whole lot more. Incompetence at it's peak 😏😏

Dumb move, they’ll pick South Korea over you any day. More to gain.

Mrs Okonjo-Iweala is exceedingly qualified for WTO position. However she brought a rotten fruit called Nigeria along. Nigeria is tarnished & inferior brand on the international platform. Highly accomplished Nigerians are devalued on world stage by the corrupt Nigerian government

What is Nigeria taking to the table against South Korea? Economy Size ❌ GDP Growth Rate ❌ Per Capita Income ❌ Gross National Income ❌ Okonji's Experience ✅ Might be better to let Okonji speak for herself.

She Nigerian proud of you madam Ngozi Iwala

Please can the youths be the ones reaching out to them please, because we can't have the same people that gave them the reason to go against her trying to reaching out to them...

U.S don't agree oooooooo

All this English! Just say they have started begging for money again international beggars

America always fighting proxy wars with China. They should now be a clog in the wheel of progress for this illustrious Nigerian please!

Make your investigations before you ask why Moreover why is china considered a developing country under the WTO ?

i no just understand this people

It not needed I support the united states after all China is supporting our sister and it would not be Good because china always manipulative She's ours but not all gift is a blessing
