State Governor, Yahaya Bello has congratulated Prof Ibrahim Agboola Gambari
(CFR) on his appointment as the new Chief of Staff to President Muhammadu
Buhari.
Bello
in a statement issued on Wednesday by his Chief Press Secretary, Onogwu
Muhammed, described Gambari as a man of many parts whose vast wealth of knowledge
and experience remain unrivaled in the African continent.
He
said as a thorough bred scholar and seasoned career diplomat who had served in
various capacities both at home and on the international scene particularly at
the United Nations, Gambari's appointment was no doubt a round peg in a round
hole.
According
to the Governor, Gambari would bring his wealth of knowledge to bare in the
discharge of his new responsibility as the Chief of Staff to the President and
'engine house' of the Presidency.
"Just
as the Late Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari played prominent role in the success of
the Buhari's administration, your coming in to fill the vacuum will further add
more colour to the administration's achievements.
It
is on record that Prof Ibrahim Gambari has had an illustrious career, spanning
academia, government and international diplomacy, culminating with his
appointment as the first United Nations Under-Secretary-General and Special
Adviser to the Secretary-General on Africa (1999-2005).
In
that capacity, he worked closely with heads of government, key policymakers as
well as institutions in the continent to develop the New Partnership for
Africa’s Development (NEPAD).
"Congratulations
once again and I pray that the Almighty Allah will give you the needed energy
and wisdom to take on this new responsibility", he said.
