Nigerian law professor and diplomat, Akasoba Duke-Abiola, has accepted her nomination and endorsement by the African Policy and Research Consortium for the position of Secretary-General of the United Nations.
Duke-Abiola’s nomination places her among Africans being considered for the top diplomatic position at the United Nations.
The endorsement is expected to boost her profile as discussions around the selection of the next UN Secretary-General continue.
If successful, her emergence would mark a significant milestone for Nigeria and Africa, with a Nigerian taking up one of the world’s most prominent international diplomatic positions.
