South Africa, Angola and Nigeria
have nominated Nigeria’s finance minister
Ngozi Okojo-Iweala as the possible replacement for outgoing President Robert Zoellick.
The three African countries,
which met in Johannesburg to make the decision, hope Iweala’s tenure will
increase the Bank’s focus on developing nations.
"She is the candidate of
choice; not just for Africa but for everyone else," South African Minister
of Finance Pravin Gordhan said.
Meanwhile, Mrs Okojo-Iweala says
she is confident of her nomination adding “Why not consider a developing world
candidate,"
President Robert Zoellick has
announced he will step in June.
