Guregi congratulates former President Goodluck Jonathan on appointment as U.N. Global Crisis Envoy

H.E. Alh. Yahya Muhammad Guregi, African Continental Governor of the World Sustainable Development Goals Organization, is thrilled to congratulate Former President of Nigeria, Goodluck Jonathan, on his historic appointment as the U.N. Global Crisis Envoy. This prestigious role, supported by an unparalleled coalition of the United States, France, the UK, China, Russia, and the United Nations, marks a significant milestone in the global diplomatic landscape.

Goodluck Jonathan’s appointment is particularly groundbreaking as he becomes the first African to assume the position of Head of State in this esteemed capacity, echoing the transformative legacy of former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, who served as the Middle East envoy for the United Nations, European Union, United States, and Russia. This landmark recognition of Jonathan’s leadership not only reflects his extensive experience in governance but also highlights the evolving role of African leaders in global diplomacy.

H.E. Alh. Guregi commends Mr. Jonathan’s impressive journey—from lecturer to Commissioner, Deputy Governor, Governor, Vice President, Acting President, and ultimately the President of Nigeria. His dedication, resilience, and commitment to public service have played a vital role in shaping Nigeria and the African continent. With this new role, he is poised to elevate Africa’s voice and influence on critical global issues, embodying the potential of African leadership and cooperation.

“This appointment is a testament to Goodluck Jonathan’s exceptional leadership and vision. As the U.N. Global Crisis Envoy, he will bring a unique perspective and valuable insights to tackle some of the pressing challenges faced by our world today,” stated H.E. Guregi. “We stand firmly behind him as he embarks on this transformative journey, advocating for sustainable solutions that address crises and promote peace across nations.”

H.E. Guregi also expressed confidence in Mr. Jonathan’s ability to bridge divides and foster international collaboration. In a time of global uncertainty, his leadership will be vital in uniting efforts toward sustainable development and crisis management.

On behalf of the World Sustainable Development Goals Organization and the African Continental body, H.E. Alh. Guregi extends his heartfelt congratulations to Former President Goodluck Jonathan and wishes him immense success in his new role as the U.N. Global Crisis Envoy.
