The United States, France, the UK, China, Russia, and the United Nations have collectively appointed Goodluck Jonathan as the U.N. Global Crisis Envoy.
This position mirrors the prestigious role once held by Tony Blair, the former Prime Minister of the UK, who served as the Middle East envoy for the United Nations, European Union, United States, and Russia.
Goodluck Jonathan will make history as the first African to assume the position of Head of State in this capacity, a groundbreaking milestone that underscores his influential status on the world stage.
Jonathan who started as a lecturer was a Commissioner, progressed to Deputy Governor, then Governor.
He became a Vice President, Acting President, and ultimately President.
Now, he transits from leader of a nation to a prominent figure on the global front.
