Nigeria’s Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala is still in the race of becoming the next Director-General World Trade Organisation (WTO) even after the international body reduced the number of candidates to five.
WTO in a Tweet on its official handle @wto on Friday announced that the five “candidates will be moving on for members’ further consideration in the next round of consultations, which resume on 24 September.”
Explaining further on its website, WTO said the five candidates were chosen from eight others after due consultations.
General Council Chair David Walker of New Zealand said WTO membership considers all the five candidates highly qualified and respected individuals.
