The World Trade Organisation (WTO) has announced the reappointment of Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala as its director-general for a second term.

This was made known via the official X handle of the WTO on Friday.

The post reads, “The General Council has appointed Director-General @NOIweala for a second term, effective 1 September 2025. More details to follow.”

58 countries had previously backed the reelection of the Word Trade Boss for a second term. She had also expressed willingness to serve a second four-year term.
