Former presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Adewole Adebayo has described the reappointment of Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala as Director-General of World Trade Organisation as well deserved.
The General Council of the World Trade Organisation on Friday, November 29, reappointed Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala for a second term as its DG. The new four-year tenure will begin on September 1, 2025.
The SDP chieftain thanked President Bola Tinubu and other global stakeholders at WTO for making her reappointment possible.

“I am most delighted to congratulate our dear sister and one of the world’s finest public servants Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala on her reappointment for a second term as the Director-General of the World Trade Organization.
“I thank President Bola Tinubu and other global stakeholders of the WTO for their support for a most deserving candidate.
