World Trade Organization (WTO) Director-General, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, has announced her intention to seek a second four-year term at the helm of the global trade body.
In an interview with Reuters on Monday, the former Nigerian Finance Minister expressed her desire to complete "unfinished business" from her first tenure. "I would like to be part of this chapter of the WTO story, and I am ready to compete for the position," she stated, referencing a letter she plans to send to the WTO's main decision-making body.
Okonjo-Iweala emphasized her focus on delivering results in her second term, citing ongoing work that remains a priority. She took office in March 2021, becoming the first woman and African to lead the 30-year-old organization. Her current term is set to end on August 31, 2025.
