It is noteworthy that Nigeria is one of only three countries that have occupied the UNGA presidency twice. A 1979 graduate of Political Science from the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, Nigeria, he also holds higher degrees from Boston University (U.S.) and University of Toronto (Canada). He was a visiting member of the Editorial Board of The Guardian before his appointment as university Vice Chancellor. This, then, is the demanding responsibility that our man at the UN will shoulder for the one-year UNGA session starting this September. We wish him every success, for the sake of Nigeria, Africa and the world.
