Nigeria’s former Education Minister, Obiageli Ezekwesili, has confirmed her acceptance of an advisory role with Club de Madrid, an international organisation made up of former democratic heads of state and government.
Ezekwesili shared the news on Tuesday via her official X (formerly Twitter) account, describing Club de Madrid as “the world’s largest forum of democratic former Presidents and Prime Ministers.”
In her words, the forum brings together experienced leaders who “leverage their individual and collective leadership experience and global reach to strengthen inclusive democratic practice and improve the well-being of people around the world.”
She added, “As our global context becomes even more complex, the leadership vacuum delays solutions to global public bads.”
Ezekwesili expressed appreciation for the continued commitment of these leaders to tackling pressing global issues and promoting international cooperation, stating, “Delighted to support.”
