President William Ruto has urged former United Nations secretary general Ban Ki-Moon to help in the establishment of the School of Leadership at the University of Nairobi.
This was during President Ruto’s official visit to South Korea, where he called on the Global Centre on Adoption (GCA), chaired by Ban Ki-Moon, to help push the bid.
The president made the announcement on June 5, 2024 after holding discussions with the former UN Secretary General in Seoul, South Korea.
“Urged Mr Ban to join the initiative on the establishment of the School of Leadership at the University of Nairobi that will focus on developing specialised skills in climate action and finance, and renewable energy,” Ruto noted in a statement.
Ban Ki-Moon also serves as the president and chairperson of the Global Green Growth Institute.
According to President Ruto, Africa has become a significant partner in climate action and financing.
“To maintain this momentum, it is crucial for us to enhance our capacity in the various fields of expertise,” Ruto said.
President William Ruto is among African leaders attending the South Korea-Africa summit taking place in Seoul.
