Tinubu since becoming the president of Nigeria, has been making frantic efforts to improve the nation’s economy.
Unfortunately, most of his economic policies have hipped more pain on the masses rather than reduce their suffering.
It is therefore hoped that the closed-door meeting between the WTO DG and the president would yield a remarkable result that Nigerians seek.
Dr Okonjo-Iweala walked into the Villa few minutes after 3:00p.m, accompanied by Dr Ali Pate, one of President Tinubu’s ministers-designate.
Jobs For Young People
After the meeting, Okonjo-Iweala told journalists that they spoke on ways to create jobs for young people in Nigeria.
Also, talks were held on how to support women and children, whom she said bore a large proportion of the suffering in Nigeria.
The meeting comes two months after Tinubu and Okonjo-Iweala met in France at the Global Pact Summit in Paris hosted by President Emmanuel Macron.
Okonjo-Iweala served twice as Nigeria’s Finance Minister, between 2003 and 2006 as well as from 2011 to 2015.
She is the first woman to hold that position.
Also, she spent 25 years at the World Bank, rising to the Managing Director position.
