The Federal Government has congratulated Ambassador Bankole Adeoye on his re-election as the African Union (AU) Commissioner for Political Affairs, Peace, and Security.
In a statement on Wednesday, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Yusuf Tuggar, praised Adeoye’s leadership in advancing peace, security, and governance across Africa. He expressed confidence in Adeoye’s ability to strengthen regional cooperation and address security challenges.
Adeoye’s reappointment comes at a crucial time as Africa faces conflicts, terrorism, and political instability. His continued leadership is expected to enhance AU peacekeeping and conflict prevention efforts.
Earlier, Adeoye received an award for his role in Somalia’s peace efforts, presented by Somalia’s State Minister for Foreign Affairs at the AU headquarters.
