Congratulations to our very own Ngozi Okonjo Iweala for emerging as the Director General of the World Trade Organization (WTO).

This is coming at time when Nigeria has been written off from the international community because of issues of corruption, insecurity, poverty and a whole lot of things that is spoiling our image in the international community.

What a record breaking achievement it is indeed for Ngozi Okonjo Iweala and for Nigeria at large.

The former Minister of Finance, Dr Ngozi Okonjo Iweala broke the record to be the first African person to head the exalted position since the organization was created. It was gathered from a source from the European Union, she emerged victorious in the contest over her South Korean rival Ms Yoo Myung-hee by a very wide margin.

This is a big win for Nigeria and the entire South East.

The Igbos have highly educated and intelligent people that are capable of representing Nigeria both nationally and internationally. Ngozi Okonjo Iweala is one of them.
