The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd), on Wednesday, announced the appointment of a new Chief of Staff.

He is Ibrahim Gambari, according to the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha.

He replaces the late Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari, who died in April.

Gambari, a scholar-diplomat, was Nigeria’s Minister of Foreign Affairs between 1984 and 1985.

A former Director-General of the Nigerian Institute of International Affairs, Gambari has served in several regional and international capacities including the Assembly of the African Union as a national delegate (1984-1985).

He was the Chairman of the United Nations Special Committee Against Apartheid (1990-1994) during which he worked closely with African governments to coordinate UN policy to eradicate apartheid.

He is the first Under-Secretary-General and Special Adviser to the United Nations’ Secretary-General on Africa between 1999 and 2005.

His last assignment at the United Nations was as the Joint Special Representative of the Secretary-General and Chairperson of the African Union Commission/Head of the UN and AU Hybrid Mission in Darfur from January 2010 to July 2012.

As a scholar, Gambari is the author of several books and scholarly articles. He began his teaching career as a Lecturer at the Queen’s College, City University of New York (1969-1974), followed by an Assistant Professorship at the State University of New York (1974-1977).

Upon returning to Nigeria, he was appointed Senior Lecturer at the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, (1977-1980), and rose to become an Associate Professor (Reader), (1980-1983) and subsequently full Professor at the same University (1983 – present – currently on leave of absence).
