According to Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Director General of the World Trade Organisation, her meeting with President Bola Tinubu in Abuja on Tuesday was targeted at alleting the economic misery besetting Nigerians.
After the meeting, Okonjo-Iweala addressed the media and emphasised that her “quiet visit,” which was not an official WTO mission, was intended to help the Nigerian people.
It’s no secret that life outside Nigeria is tough for Nigerians. I myself am here on a somewhat low-key visit.
“So, this was not really an official WTO mission, but we were able to engage with Mr. President to talk about ‘what are the kinds of programmes that could be put in place to make sure that the suffering of Nigerians is being alleted?'”
