Goodluck Jonathan Appointed U.N. Global Crisis Envoy | Ghetto News Nigeria
Former President of Nigeria, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, has been appointed as the United Nations Global Crisis Envoy—a prestigious role jointly endorsed by the United States, United Kingdom, France, China, Russia, and the UN.
This appointment is reminiscent of the notable position once held by former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, who served as Middle East Envoy under the joint mandate of the United Nations, European Union, United States, and Russia.
Jonathan’s selection marks a historic first, as he becomes the first African former Head of State to occupy this global diplomatic role—an achievement that underscores his growing influence and recognition on the international stage.
From humble beginnings as a lecturer to Commissioner, rising through the ranks as Deputy Governor, Governor, Vice President, Acting President, and finally President of Nigeria, Jonathan’s journey is a testament to resilience and service. Now, he steps onto the global stage, continuing his legacy as a mediator and statesman.
