*Urges her to remember home
Hon. Pastor Jude Chukwunwike, executive chairman of Aniocha South Local Government in Delta State, has congratulated Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala on her reappointment as Director General World Trade Organization (WTO) for a second term.
Expressing delight on her reappointment, Chukwunwike said it has brought honour to Aniocha South communities. Okonjo-Iweala is from the royal family of Ogwashi-Uku, headquarters of Aniocha South council.
Reuters news agency which confirmed her emergence noted that it came ahead of the return to White House of Donald Trump who had initially suported her then South Korean opponent in the twilight of his first term as U.S. president.
In his message, Chukwunwike urged her to surpass her previous achievements while calling on her to remember her ancestral root – Aniocha South.
Chukwunwike noted that Dr. Okonjo-Iweala’s re-election to the prestigious position is a testament to her hard work as a global asset, economist, astute technocrat and public figure with an outstanding trait of sterling leadership credentials.
“Our dear sister and daughter is a shining example of empowerment and a wellspring of hope for women and girls across the globe. Her remarkable commitment to addressing the economic and health consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic is truly inspiring. We are excited to see the impact of her continued leadership and vision for the WTO and it is our wish that this mandate will accelerate more significant milestones in fostering economic growth and commerce.
“On behalf of my family, the government and people of Aniocha South local government area, I proudly congratulate Dr. Okonjo-Iweala for the pride, goodwill and honour she has brought to Nigeria and Africa today in the global arena”, Chukwunwike said.
