The United Nations Information Centre (UNIC) Lagos has opened a condolence book in honour of the deceased former UN Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali.
The former Secretary General died on the 16th of February 2016 at the age of 93. He was the sixth Secretary-General and the first African Secretary General of the United Nations. He served a five-year term from 1992 to 1996.
The Veteran Diplomat was praised by Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon for guiding the Organization through the tumultuous early 1990’s and for helping shape the UN’s response to post-Cold War realities, drafting a seminal report on preventive diplomacy, peacemaking and peacekeeping.
