In a press statement signed by the Country Director of GPF Nigeria, Dr. John Joseph Hayab, and made available to Journalists in Kaduna at the weekend, the organisation described Omondi’s elevation as a strategic move that will further enhance peacebuilding efforts and ethical leadership across the African continent.

“Global Peace Foundation Nigeria salutes the new African Regional Representative, Dr. Daniel Juma Omondi, who also serves as the Country Director of GPF Kenya.

“We will continue to work together to promote the ‘One Family Under God’ campaign for a peaceful Africa and the renaissance of our region through ethical and innovative leadership,” the statement read.

Hayab noted that Omondi’s wealth of experience and passion for community-driven solutions make him well-suited for the continental role. He expressed optimism that the appointment will strengthen collaboration among GPF chapters across Africa.

The appointment, effective May 1, 2025, was announced in a circular signed by GPF Senior Vice President Mr. Aya Goto and released from the organisation’s Washington D.C. headquarters on May 3.
