President Bola Tinubu met with the Director General of the World Trade Organisation (WTO), Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, at the Aso Villa in Abuja, yesterday.
Although, the purpose of her visit was not made known to state house correspondents. However, it is believed that discussions on the economic and trade agenda of the new administration in Nigeria will be discussed.
One of President Tinubus designate ministers, Dr. Ali Pate, joined Dr. Okonjo-Iweala as she entered the Villa a few minutes after 3pm.
Okonjo-Iweala served twice as Nigerias Finance Minister between 2003 and 2006 as well as from 2011 to 2015, the first woman to hold the position. During the administration of Jonathan, she held the positions of Coordinating Minister for the Economy and Minister of Finance.
