... for ‘Unusual Leadership’ On SDGs Implementation
Amina J. Mohammed, Deputy Secretary General of the United Nations, has commended Princess Adejoke Orelope-Adefulire for the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals in Nigeria.
The Deputy UN Scribe described Orelope-Adefulire's work as “exceptional” during a visit to the Office of the Senior Special Assistant to the President on SDGs.
"What the SSAP-SDGs has been able to do, is to build on foundations that have been laid, that’s unusual leadership. It recognises that there was history and that there are things which have been done which Nigerians are benefiting from. What the SSAP has done is to take it to a different level,” said Ms. Amina Mohammed.
The UN Deputy Secretary General said she was particularly impressed with the efforts of the OSSAP-SDGs to ensure that required data are provided for effective planning, tracking, monitoring and evaluation.
In her response, Princess Orelope-Adefulire said of the visit:
"This is a rare privilege and full circle moment due to the fact that Ms. Mohammed was the first occupant of the Office – in her capacity then as the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Millennium Development Goals.
“You were instrumental in setting a standard institutional framework, leaving a lasting legacy which aided the transition to the SDGs in Nigeria,” Orelope-Adefulire added.
