By Modupe Shodeinde
The World Trade Organisation has postponed it’s scheduled meeting for the appointment of a Director-General indefinitely.
The Organisation had earlier scheduled November 9, has the day to make a final decision on the appointment of its Director-General.
This was after the United States opposed the appointment of Former Nigerian Minister of Finance, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala as the head of the organisation even though she garnered support from key WTO ambassadors as the best candidate to lead the organisation.
However, a communication seen by AFP showed that the meeting has now been postponed indefinitely.
“It has come to my attention that for reasons including the health situation and current events, delegations will not be in a position to take a formal decision on 9 November,”
“I am therefore postponing this meeting until further notice during which period I will continue to undertake consultations with delegations,” the head of the selection committee told member states.
