Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Nigeria's Finance and Co-ordinating Minister of the Economy is not interested in the World Trade Organisation (WTO) top job. Pascal Lamy will retire soon and there's been speculations that Okonjo-Iweala may seek to replace him.
Y’ Online [1] quotes an e-press release from Mrs Iweala's office:
“For the avoidance of doubt, Dr Okonjo-Iweala is not a candidate for the leadership of the WTO. She has also not expressed any interest whatsoever in the position.”
Global Voices reported [2] on Okonjo-Iweala's historical bid for the World Bank presidency in March and April respectively.
