From Paul Osuyi, Asaba

Delta State Governo Ifeanyi Okowa has congratulated former Minister of Finance Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala on her emergence as Director-General of the World Trade Organisation (WTO).

In a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Olisa Ifeajika, in Asaba, on Monday, Governor Okowa said that he was elated to hear of the successful emergence of Okonjo-Iweala as WTO boss after a very highly competitive and protracted process.

He described Okonjo-Iweala as a brilliant, competent, world-class economist and international development expert whose works over the years had distinguished her globally.

The governor stated that the appointment of Okonjo-Iweala had broken the 24-year-old jinx of a female becoming head of the WTO, adding that she was the first African to lead the global trade body in its 25-year history.

‘I am excited to hear of the emergence of our illustrious daughter, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, as the Director-General of the WTO.

‘Your appointment is indeed, a testament to your competence and experience as a renowned economist and international development expert.

‘You went through a very rigorous and competitive process to emerge as the new head at the WTO.

‘On behalf of my family, the Government and people of Delta, I congratulate a worthy ambassador of Delta and Nigeria, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, on the recognition and appointment.

‘As you take on this distinguishing assignment at the big global stage again, I pray and urge you to re-enact that which you have always done – bringing pride and honour to Delta and Nigeria.

‘It is without a doubt that your pedigree and impeccable footprints in monetary and economic administration in Nigeria and at the World Bank stood you out for this global assignment.

‘As you continue in this remarkable trajectory, we wish you success as you mount this new saddle,’ he stated.
