Hanna Tetteh Gets New UN Post

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

Just in July this year, Ms Tetteh was appointed by the UN boss as Director-General of the United Nations (UN) Office at Nairobi, Kenya.

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 MP will also Head the United Nations Office to the African Union (UNOAU) in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, after Ms Sahle-Work Zewde became the President of Ethiopia in October this year.

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