New Post: Hanna Tetteh Heads UN Office At AU

UN Secretary-General, António Guterres, has appointed Ghana’s former Minister of Foreign Affairs, Hanna Tetteh, as his Special Representative to the African Union.

The former Awutu Senya West Parliamentarian will also Head the United Nations Office to the African Union (UNOAU) in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

The position became vacant in October, when the previous occupant, Ms Sahle-Work Zewde, became the President of Ethiopia.

Ms Tetteh succeeded Ms Sahle-Work Zewde, who was at the time appointed as Special Representative to the African Union (AU) and Head of the United Nations Office to the African Union (UNOAU).

The former Awutu Senya West Parliamentarian in July this year was appointed by the UN boss as Director-General of the United Nations (UN) Office at Nairobi, Kenya.

The new role of announcement was made Monday, December 10, during a media briefing by Stephane Dujarric, the Spokesperson for the UN Secretary-General.
