This was made public by Tolu Ogunlesi, the SA to the President on digital and new media via his Twitter account.
He tweeted:
President @MBuhari has nominated @NOIweala as Nigeria’s candidate for the position of DG of @wto. DG Azevedo is stepping down in August 2020, a year early, so the election of a new DG, originally scheduled for 2021, may take place much earlier.
Ngozi Okonjo Iweala was the Minister of Finance under President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan when the Peoples Democratic Party PDP was still in power.
Her nomination has seen Nigerians taken to social media to react.

@DrJoeAbah spot on. But World Trade Organization? After the way some countries have succeeded in de-toothing it by crippling it's arbitration section? I don't know if Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala isn't worth better? I love their premises in Geneva though even if I feel it's a meh… https://t.co/JEym5NXkza

With or without PMB, Ngozi Okonjo Iweala is going places already.
She doesn't need his recommendation to be what she already is.
My question is "why he has not used her wealth of experience all these while & get Nigeria out of this economic mess where even SA is tapping 4m it?— Lord Luther (@LutherVixA) June 6, 2020
Maybe the Egyptians would have preferred Kemi Adeosun.
Dear Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala,
Please relax ma'am, because the Egyptians you see today, you shall see them no more.Nah God dey your back, nor be Eczema— tiredNigerian (@DuruchibuzorE) June 5, 2020
