United Nations Makes New Appointment.
Onyxnews Nigeria reports that Amina Mohammed has been reappointed as Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations (UN).
António Guterres on Friday asked Mohammed to serve as Deputy Secretary-general for a second term, shortly after the UN General Assembly re-appointed him for a second term.
Guterres’ second term starts on January 1, 2022, and will run for a period of five years. He succeeded Ban Ki-moon in January 2017 as the ninth secretary-general.
While speaking with journalists after taking the oath of office for a second term, he said has extended an offer to Mohammed to continue in office.
“After being elected, I have the pleasure to invite the deputy secretary-general to remain in my second mandate and I hope she will accept,” he said.
Mohammed, who was standing behind Guterres at the press briefing, responded with the comment “absolute honour”.
Mohammed is a diplomat and politician who is serving as the fifth Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations.

Mrs Mohammed was Nigeria’s Minister of Environment from 2015 to 2016 and was a key player in the Post-2015 Development Agenda process.
Mohammed was born in Liverpool, the United Kingdom to a Nigerian veterinarian-officer and a British nurse. She is the eldest of five daughters.
