President Bola Tinubu Engages in High-Level Talks with WTO Chief Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala at Abuja’s Presidential Villa

President Bola Tinubu is currently holding discussions with the Director-General of the World Trade Organisation (WTO), Prof. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, within the esteemed confines of the Presidential Villa in Abuja.

The distinguished visit of Prof. Okonjo-Iweala to the Presidential Villa commenced around 2:50 pm, accompanied by none other than Dr. Ali Pate, a former Minister of State for Health during the tenure of President Goodluck Jonathan.

This encounter marks the latest interaction between Prof. Okonjo-Iweala and President Tinubu, following their attendance at a pivotal leadership summit held in the vibrant city of Paris, France, back in June. Prof. Okonjo-Iweala’s notable background includes her role as the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy during the tenure of President Jonathan’s administration.

The ongoing dialogue at the heart of Nigeria’s political hub holds immense promise for diplomatic collaboration and global trade discourse.
