“Having previously served with distinction as the Speaker of the Osun State House of Assembly, where he demonstrated exemplary leadership, integrity, and dedication to democratic governance, the new Pro-Chancellor also served Nigeria meritoriously as an Ambassador Extraordinary and plenipotentiary to the United Mexican States in June 2021, with concurrent accreditation to Costa Rica, Guatemala and Panama, contributing significantly to the country’s diplomatic engagements and international relations for intergovernmental development,” Olarewaju added.
He quoted the OAU management as congratulating Bello, a native of Ede in Osun State, on the “well-deserved appointment and looks forward to a new era of stability, progress, and excellence under his chairmanship.”
