Osotimehin is the Executive Director of United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and he is currently serving in his second term of four years.
Before his appointment as UNFPA head, Osotimehin was Nigeria’s minister of health under Late President Umaru Musa Yar’adua.
Before then, he was the Director-General of the National Action Committee on AIDS (NACA), a position where he achieved great success.
