World Trade Organisation director general, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, has met President Bola Tinubu in Aso Villa.
Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala was accompanied to the meeting by Dr Ali Pate, one of President Tinubu’s ministers-designate.
Dr Pate and Okonjo-Iweala both served in the administration of Dr Goodluck Jonathan. While Pate served as Minister of Health, Okonjo-Iweala was the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy.
It is not clear why the two are in the Villa. But the meeting is coming a day after the Senate cleared 45 nominees, including Dr Pate as Minister-Designate.
Okonjo-Iweala arrived at the Villa at about 2:50 pm. The meeting is still ongoing as at the time of filing this report.
