President of the Senate, Dr.
Abubakar Bukola Saraki, has been appointed as an “Ambassador-at-Large” of the
International Human Rights Commission (IHRC).
In a letter dated March 16, 2019,
Ambassador Friday Sani, the Diplomatic Head of the Commission to Nigeria and
other African Countries, stated that sequel to the approval of the World
Secretary General of the IHRC, Dr. Saraki has been appointed as one of the
revered Ambassadors-at-Large of the multinational body.
A copy of the letter was made
available by Saraki’s media office.
It reads, “While our role as a
regional body is to promote and encourage institutions and persons to uphold
human dignity across the world, we must not fail to mention the commendation of
our Nigerian team over your resolute efforts in the stability of your country
and your firm leadership of the Nigerian Senate which is adjudged to be among
the most proactive parliaments across the world.
“Besides, the Commission is not
unmindful of the maturity that you recently displayed in the face of an obvious
provocation in your constituency during the last Presidential and National
Assembly elections,” Ambassador Sani said in the letter.
In the new capacity, Dr. Saraki
is expected to lead the diplomatic team of the IHRC in various diplomatic
missions across the world.
The Senate President has accepted
the nomination of the Commission, while also expressing his appreciation to the
IHRC for his nomination.
