Gatekeepers News reports that President Muhammadu Buhari has congratulated UN Secretary General, António Guterres and his Deputy, Amina Mohammed on their reappointment for a second term by the UN General Assembly upon the recommendation of the Security Council.
President Buhari’s congratulatory message was contained in a statement signed by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, on Saturday.

According to him the reappointment of Mohammed who was a former Minister of Environment in Nigeria will further encourage more women and the girl-child, particularly in Africa and Nigeria.

President Buhari, therefore, commended the former minister for her contributions to development, at home and abroad.
The President prayed that the Almighty God will grant her good health, strength, and more wisdom for the journey ahead.
