Behind every facets of life; political, economic, religion, social etc., there exists the minority ''elite" that dictates who gets what, when and how. Thus, the idea that the minority makes the decisions that affect the general public remains inviolable and sacrosanct and as such basis for understanding political analysis. It is on this premise that this research paper tends to beam the searchlight on the reality of elite theory of politics and the political process of recruiting elite called circulation of elite in the society with a particular reference to the emergency of Dr (Mrs.) Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala; the 1st female and African Director-General of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) and the world economic elite of the 21st Century.
