The Director-General of the World Trade Organisation, WTO, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, came to Nigeria for the Delta State Economic and Investment Summit in Asaba, Delta State, South-South Nigeria, but went back to Geneva with indelible memory of home coming.

Before attending the Delta State Economic and Investment Summit, Okonjo-Iweala extended her presence in Nigeria to visit her country home, Ogwashi-Uku, Aniocha South LGA. She arrived into the waiting cultural reception of women in the family. She was elated by the cultural bond and the high profile of her personality displayed by women in the family.
