Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala All Set To Make History At World Trade Organisation, To Become First Woman To Lead WTO
Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala is all set to become the first woman to lead the World Trade Organisation. The 66-year-old will be the first woman and the first African to occupy the position. During her 25 years at the World Bank, she is credited with spearheading several initiatives to assist low-income countries. But it is her reform agenda in Nigeria in which she takes real pride, especially the two times she served as the country\'s finance minister under Presidents Olusegun Obasanjo & Goodluck Jonathan. One of her sons - Uzodinma Iweala, author of the 2005 novel Beast of No Nation - has spoken of his strict upbringing. \"My mum is a very powerful woman. She knows how she wants things done, and if you don\'t it her way, you are in trouble” Uzodinma Iweala, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala’s son told BBC. Watch the video to know more.
