I've just invoked Art.99 of the UN Charter - for the 1st time in my tenure as Secretary-General. Facing a severe risk of collapse of the humanitarian system in Gaza, I urge the Council to help avert a humanitarian catastrophe & appeal for a humanitarian ceasefire to be declared.

Deeply concerned about the prospect of a military offensive in Rafah – over half of Gaza’s population are sheltering in the area. The priority must be an immediate pause in the fighting to get aid in and hostages out, then progress towards a sustainable, permanent ceasefire.

Terribly saddened by the news of the terrible loss of Herbert Wigwe , Group CEO Access Bank Herbert Wigwe, C.F.R , his wife and son as well as Bimbo Ogunbanjo in a helicopter crash. My deepest sympathies and condolences to the Wigwe family, the Ogunbanjo family, Access Bank Group

Yesterday we celebrated the publication of An African History of Africa. My book is the culmination of over 7 years of travel, through more than 30 African countries. Everyone is originally from Africa, and this book is therefore for everyone. Thank you all for your support!
