The former minister of finance beat her last standing rival, Yoo Myung Hee, by a wide margin. She got the support of over 100 member states and her long-standing career in trade elevated her chances.
Sources from the European Union dropped the news but the WTO will officially announce her new status later in the day.

Congratulations!!!! My role model. This is the kind of grounds I want to break. These are the kind of people the youths should emulate.

Congratulations Ma'am, you deserve it. May your appointment bring you Grace , favour and strength before men and God.
Congratulations Prof, more wins madam . I tap into this one in Jesus name.
Congratulations Ma'am. This is the result you get when you push competent people and not like the so called "judge" they pushed that came last in the exam in Hague. And they were not ashamed the "judge" disgraced them. And like the so called minister of justice that was imposed on us that read Islamic studies. That one can not even travel out of Nigeria for conference or seminar, always sending representatives. This country sef.
Una don come

Y'all don't understand how much of a big deal this is to me, i'm literally jumping and dancing rn. Congrats, NOI. This is a HUGE win!
YES!!! You guys have no idea how excited I am with this great news!
Like, I've been following this nomination up like forever. I am very happy for Ms. Ngα»zi Iweala.
I am grateful for African Union, European Union and the Carribbean countries for standing by her. The US were on the side of the South Korean woman, but, majority wins the vote and Ngα»zi is the better choice and this is a well deserved win.
Congratulations to us all
Mama to the world!!!! This woman is too much. Chai. Congratulations Prof. You're the real face of feminism. I love this woman eh

Top notch. Congratulations once again to you dear NOI the great. At times i wonder how her children feels or what goes through their heads knowing that this extraordinary human is their mother, Most be a beautiful feeling.
She's an entire asset to the world at large.
Yes oo, you forgot to add China. According to EU sources, they lobbied China to back her up and they did tilting the votes in her favour. Soo happy for her. It is a big win for her and us.
Congratulations woman of Grace
Congratulations Prof! Great woman, great character. Tested, Tried and True! π️πΎπ₯π
This here is the role model every African girl-child should aspire to become and surpass❗π©ππͺ✔️
@ Baltika! My God you're such an ethnic and religious bigot, congratulate the woman and move on!
Hahahahahahaha...Lol
Wow... Congratulations ma!! Well deserved... I am so proud of you.
This news made my day!
Exactly. That the United States supported Lee was enough to turn the tide despite the fact Okonjo Iweala clearly was more qualified.
A clear representation of a role model...congrats ma'am
Congratulations and l hope it will reflect on her country's image.
They'll feel proud and happy, but the downside is they may not attain her heights and it may make them feel they are 'failures' and lead to self consciousness. Their mother's name will always overshadow theirs.
Just my humble opinion π€·♀️
Great News.. Congratulations Ma.
Congratulations ma'am, whom God has bless no man can course.
Congrats
I'm super proud of this woman.
Big congratulations to you ma.
Wow... A very big congratulations Ma'am

Abeg,put her face on two thousand naira note.. she's a super woman.. congratulations ma'am
Wow !!! Congrats
Congratulations mama. Well deserved
Shove it up your ass.. The kids will be alright being exactly what they were predestined to be whether enough to be compared to their mum or not. Worry about yourself squaredly.
She is Delta (Igbo), married to Abia.
π€π€You see them; hypocrites. That was how you ladies were hailing Oby Ezekwesili and she believed you all and vied for presidency. You all abandoned her and
voted for Buhari. Are you not all reaping the fruits of your labor now? ππππππ
Her son Uzo wrote the book beast of no nation that was made into a movie. You can't have a mom like NOI and be dulling
Twins squared, her kids are doing very well in their respective fields
Omg this is such a huge win for women all over. Ever since it was narrowed own to the two of them, I've been on edge cos i wanted her to win so bad. Now I am beyond delayed! Congrats NOI baayi
Congratulations Ma'am on your appointment as the Director General of the World Trade Organization.
Through you, we beam Nigeria to the world. We celebrate your resilience and integrity.
Congratulations ma'am, this news made my day,e sweet my Belle .
Phenomenal woman πππ with her unique gele style
@Twin Squared, I understand your point. Most of this extremely great people always have this funny way of overshadowing their children but NIO's kids are trying. By and by, They'd get to fill up their mother's giant shoe.
@Anon15:56, Please learn to be calming down as everything isn't fight, quarrel or insults. Calm your aggressive vains down will you?!
*Must.
Congratulations Ma'am on your new appointment.
Ha congratulation ma. U r truly blessing and a sort of inspiration to us being a woman
Congratulations Ma'am
I wish you all the best
KING XOXO MYSTERY

Congratulations NOI.. It's a well deserved one.
@Baltika said the plain truth. We are in a country where mediocrity is the order of the day
Amen.
I feel so proud of her like I know her personally.
A big congratulations to you ma'am.am so happy hearing this news
Congratulations ma.
The election is in November. She hasn't won ooooo
I am so happy reading this, congratulations to her. More wins to her and all women too.
She is not yet, election is in November
Hey dear, I don't need to follow her on social media for her to be my role model.
Hahaha lol @anon 16:00 your papa hahaha
Anon 14.57, God will punish you for insulting Baltika for saying the truth! If we return to meritocracy, the North would not smell any appointment/position in this country and you know it!
I am patiently waiting in the comments for you to come and prove me wrong.
Just so you know, I don't shy away from intelligent engagement so you can start the comparison/competition with you and I...
Ms A, you now see what I meant when I said Buhari was just using that tweet to chase clout? Because he was the least person she needed on her side...
Chisom baaby, the GODDESS has done it againπππππππππππππππππ...
Congratulations ma. Keep breaking limits... We are super proud of you...
Our very own super Momma ...
Congratulations ma'am
Yes oo my darling baby girl, @ Mama mia. The walking goddess has yet again, done it so effortlessly. I just love how she intelligently completely ignored the attention seeking old man that wanted to drag her glorious name to the mud. She's five times a goddess.
Congratulations to you Ma.
Super proud of you πͺ
Yassss
Relevant and useful woman
The true slay queen not these self acclaimed charlatans all over the place
Educationally backward on paper, backwards in real life
Enough said
Congrats ma'am. More wins!
