Nigeria’s Ambassador to the Royal Kingdom of the Netherlands, Dr (Mrs), Nimota Akanbi, has emerged as the first president of the Diplomatic Council for Africa under the umbrella of the Diplomatic Council International.

This follows her recommendation for membership of Diplomatic Council International by Ambassador Buddha Athauda of Sri Lanka.

In her acceptance speech, Ambassador Akanbi said she found the ideals and objectives of the Diplomatic Council in tandem with African culture.

She disclosed that developing friendly relations among nations would ensure global peace and freedom.

“Developing friendly relations among nations will ensure global peace and economic prosperity for the benefit of the whole world,” she said.

Ambassador Akanbi argued that due to complexities of the world today, there is the need to pool resources and experiences from a wide range of human endeavour to address global challenges.

While reiterating her commitment to serve selflessly, the diplomat said that no continent required the services and activities of the Diplomatic Council more than Africa.

“This is because of the prevalence of wars, conflicts and crises in the continent,” she said.

Akanbi explained that the progress in economic development recorded in the continent in the last five years may be reversed, if conflicts and crises prevalent in the continent werwe not addressed.

She however, promised to work hard and explore ways of promoting peace and economic growth in Africa.
