The Federal Government has inaugurated a campaign strategy team for Dr NGOZI OKONJO-IWEALA as she contests for the position of Director-General of the World Trade Organization.

The Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, RICHARD ADEBAYO, inaugurated the team in Abuja and said the creation of a campaign strategy group was vital in ensuring that the Nigerian candidate emerged as the DG of the WTO.

The minister disclosed this in a statement issued in Abuja by his ministry’s Assistant Director of Information, OLUWAKEMI OGUNMAKINWA.

ADEBAYO said the decision of President MUHAMMADU BUHARI to nominate OKONJO-IWEALA as Nigeria’s candidate for the position was taken in good faith.

The team comprised of officials of the Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment, Ministry of Foreign Affairs; and representatives of the Office of the Chief of Staff to the President.
