The association is satisfied that Dr. Okonjo-Iweala has broken the glass ceiling and interrupted the age long history of over 70 years by becoming the first woman, African and black person to head the prestigious organization, a novel history the world and Africa will cherish for many generations to come.

Taking into cognizance her professional disposition to issues and achievements recorded in all the organizations she headed in the past, especially as one time Coordinator of the Economy and Minister of Finance in Nigeria, NAWOJ is optimistic of a rebranded World Trade Organization that will proffer achievable solutions to the challenges confronting economies of countries of the world.

While applauding the support of stakeholders in nominating Dr. Okonjo-Iweala and President Muhammadu Buhari for standing by her in the struggle, NAWOJ calls on the new sheriff to promote women entrepreneurship in E-economy and digital world.

Consequently, it is imperative for women, especially in Africa, to borrow a leaf from Dr. Okonjo-Iweala by becoming the best in their chosen endeavours to strengthen the narrative of gender inclusion and a better society.

NAWOJ wishes the new face of African pride and Director General, World Trade Organization (DG, WTO) a successful tenure and God’s guidance.

Ladi Bala,

National President,

NAWOJ
