Amina Mohammed, the United Nations Deputy Secretary‑General, announced that her tenure will end on 31 December. In a statement to the press, she said she will return to Nigeria after leaving the UN to help advance the development of her home country and the wider African continent.
Mohammed has been a prominent figure in global diplomacy, but the announcement focuses on her plans to apply her experience at the UN to national and continental initiatives. She expressed a commitment to supporting projects that address economic growth, social inclusion and sustainable development across Africa.
While the statement does not detail specific programmes she will pursue, it signals a continued engagement with Nigeria’s development agenda and a broader interest in fostering progress throughout the region.
Her departure from the UN will mark the end of a long career in international service, during which she has worked on a range of issues from gender equality to climate change. The announcement was made in the context of her concluding term as the organisation’s second‑highest official.
