A sociocultural organisation, The Unity Group (TUG) has hailed former President Goodluck Jonathan on his recent appointment as a member of the international advisory board of the European Corporate Council on Africa and the Middle East (ECAM Council).
Jonathan’s appointment into the Board was made known last week Wednesday through a statement by his media aide, Ikechukwu Eze who disclosed that by the appointment, Dr. Jonathan has become the first sub-Saharan African leader to serve on the board of the ECAM Council, which he said, is a non-profit organisation established with the purpose of promoting and developing relations between the countries of Europe, Africa and the MENA (Middle East and North Africa) region, with Italy playing a leading role.
Reacting to the development, The Unity Group in a statement Tuesday May 17, 2022, said the appointment is another testimony of Jonathan’s ever rising profile as an international statesman and a rare personality of focus.
The Group also commended President Muhammadu Buhari for what it described as presidential and diplomatic protocols extended to Jonathan, to enable him function maximally on his international assignments.
The statement was signed by the National Coordinator of TUG, Chief Johnny Chukwudi Metchie who is also the President General of Umueri General Assembly and the National Secretary, Bonaventure Phillips Melah, a veteran journalist and author.
