Ukraine President Zelenskyy has appointed Mrs Obiageli Ezekwesili, former Nigerian minister, as an ambassador of the Ukrainian government’s programme ‘Grain from Ukraine.’ This is a result of the harsh effects of the global food crisis.
The programme is an initiative of the Ukrainian government to assist countries suffering from severe food shortages relative to the war with Russia.
Head Office of the President of Ukraine, Andriy Yermak, disclosed that Ezekwesili and her colleagues are joining international experts and leaders to support the initiative. Since the initiative’s launch in November 2022, more than 30 donor countries have signed up.
Yermak added, “We see the prospect of expanding the project. To do this, we need reliable partners with knowledge and extensive connections.
