President Bola Tinubu has reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to strengthening Nigeria’s economic ties with the global community, following a crucial meeting with World Trade Organisation (WTO) Director-General, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, at the Aso Villa in Abuja on Thursday.
This meeting, held just two weeks before Okonjo-Iweala’s first term expires on August 31, 2025, underscores the significance of her continued leadership in shaping global trade policies.
Persecondnews gathered that the closed-door meeting focused on trade matters of national, continental, and global relevance, highlighting Tinubu’s confidence in Okonjo-Iweala’s ability to drive inclusive global economic growth and good governance.
With her second term set to commence on September 1, 2025, Okonjo-Iweala is poised to further cement her legacy as a champion of international trade reform.
Tinubu’s administration has been keen on reforming the country’s economy, and this meeting signals a potential boost to Nigeria’s economic growth.
Her historic appointment as the first African and first woman to lead the 164-nation-member WTO in 2021 has been hailed as a milestone in global economic governance.
With Tinubu’s expressed confidence in her continued leadership, Nigeria is likely to benefit from her expertise in navigating the complexities of global trade.
