    The Academy of International Affairs (AIA), Nigeria, a private think tank of distinguished diplomats, academics, security experts and leaders of thought in the foreign policy arena today joins the global community in celebrating the 100th birthday anniversary of former United States President, Jimmy Carter.

    In a congratulatory letter sent to the 39th American President by the Founder and President of the Academy, Prof. Bolaji Akinyemi, on behalf of the Fellows of the Academy, he stated as follows:

    “As you celebrate this remarkable milestone, we want to express our admiration for your tireless efforts in promoting global peace, health, and human rights, particularly in African countries.”

    The former Foreign Minister continued in eulogising the contributions of former President Carter “towards a better world through the various activities being undertaken by him and his spouse, Mrs. Rosalyn Carter through their platform, the Carter Centre.” He further praised the centennial’s legacy “in resolving conflicts, improving health care in over 65 countries especially in parts of Africa”, adding “we also note your commitment to eradicating diseases such as guinea worm disease, river blindness, malaria, trachoma and mental health and save countless lives and improve the quality of life for millions of people.”

    The Academy concluded its tribute by wishing President Carter good health and wellbeing and prays that his memory will continue to resonate with the deepest appreciation across Nigeria and Africa and resonate to the entire global community.
