Paul C Nwabuikwu, Senior Special Assistant to the minister issued a statement this afternoon “in response to recent speculations and enquiries linking the Coordinating Minister for the Economy and Minister of Finance, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala to a future role as head of the World Trade Organisation (WTO)”

He said there was no truth in the speculations. “For the avoidance of doubt, Dr Okonjo-Iweala is not a candidate for the leadership of the WTO. She has also not expressed any interest whatsoever in the position.”
