Lresident Muhammadu Buhari yesterday in Abuja appreciated the virtues of Amina Mohammed, Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations, on her 60th birthday for her reappointment to serve as Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations (UN) for a second term.
The President who was represented by his Chief of Staff, Agboola Ibrahim Gambari at a symposium organised by the Centre for Public Research and Development to celebrate Amina’s 60th birthday, congratulated her for the feat she has attained on the global stage.
He said Amina’s recent reappointment was one of the testaments of her credentials.
Gambari said: “It’s not surprising therefore that after completing her first term as Deputy Secretary-General, the UN Secretary-General graciously reappointed her for a second term, the second African and the first to be done by a female African, of course, a Nigerian.
“On this note, I am optimistic that she will become the first female Secretary-General. Who knows, six years is not far from here.”
