Okonjo Iweala is the first woman and the first African appointed to lead the World Trade Organization and in Nigeria's capital Abuja.

That's caused to celebrate.

For people here, like branch developer E B.

Joy, the country's former finance minister is an inspiration.

Chief ranks as a lady has actually made me young ladies to actually have the drive to do more.

If she can be.

If she can do it, we all can do it.

Three months after being rejected by the administration of former U.

S.

President Donald Trump on endorsement by his successor, Joe Biden saw Okonjo Iweala get unanimous approval for the job.

That position, it's long of ideal when you take cognizance of what country well has put in in this mission.

The 25 year veteran off the World Bank returns to Nigeria in 2000 and three to save as finance minister.

Her backers points to her heart news negotiating skills, which helped cancel billions of dollars off Nigerian debt in 2000 and five plus to Africa as a big plus to Nigeria admissions facilitator, or Lattimore.

Rotimi believes her appointment will be a boost for a country that suffered two recessions in the past five years and give us a voice.

But Okonjo Iweala does have her work cut out.

She will need to broker international treaty talks in the face off persistent US China conflict, response to pressure to reform trade rules and counter heightened protectionism alright.
