The President of the Federal republic of Nigeria, President Muhammadu Buhari had yesterday, assured Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, the former Minister of Finance and one of two candidates contesting for the topmost job, that Nigeria would explore every opportunity to seeing her emerge as next Director-General of the World Trade Organisation (WTO).
Dr. Ngozi had begged the president to “put a smile” on her face. Buhari, who received her at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, said she deserved more support to get the plum office on account of her profile and diligence in public service. He said “I assure you that we will do all that we can to ensure that you emerge as the Director-General of WTO, not only because you are a Nigerian, but because you are a hardworking Nigerian. You deserve this,” he added, "I will immediately make calls".
