Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala officially takes over as the Director-General of the World Trade Organization (WTO) Monday after a long selection process that ended with her being unanimously elected in February this year.
At a press conference following her appointment, Okonjo-Iweala said the way things are done at the WTO must change so there is development.
“It is both exciting and daunting at the same time to be here because I take reins of the WTO at a time of great uncertainty. It cannot be business as usual at the WTO.”
