Governor of Enugu State, Dr Peter Mbah, has congratulated Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala on her reappointment as the Director-General of the World Trade Organisation, WTO.

Mbah, however, said that the development did not come to him as a surprise, given her great leadership of the organisation so far in her first term.

A statement released by the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Media (External Relations), Uche Anichukwu, at the weekend quoted Mbah as saying, "On behalf of the Government and good people of Enugu State, I congratulate you on your reappointment, which is a testimony to your exceptional leadership of the organisation in your first term.

"You remain one of Nigeria's greatest exports to the world and your experience, deep knowledge, and global goodwill have no doubt counted greatly in repositioning the WTO towards achieving its goals and mandate. We can only urge you to keep excelling and keep making us proud," the governor said.

He wished her well in her second term, which commences in September 2025.
