The United Nations has disowned Mr Adeniyi Adeyemi Matthew over his alleged appointment to a position within the UN Youth Office, declaring that he has no appointment, employment or affiliation with the organisation.
The UN Youth Office also stated that Adeyemi was never authorised to represent the office or the United Nations in any capacity.
The clarification was contained in a letter dated July 27, 2026, with reference number UNYO-2026-0017, issued by the United Nations Youth Office and released through Nigeria’s Permanent Mission to the UN in New York.
The letter was written in response to a note from Nigeria’s Permanent Mission to the United Nations dated July 1, 2026, seeking clarification on Adeyemi’s purported appointment and documents allegedly linked to the position.
In the letter, the UN Youth Office stated that Adeyemi “holds no appointment, employment, or affiliation of any kind with the Office” and had never been authorised to represent it in any capacity.
The development was disclosed by Nigeria’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Ambassador Jimoh Ibrahim, who said the communication had settled questions surrounding Adeyemi’s alleged appointment and the documents associated with it.
The controversy had also triggered allegations of forgery involving the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, over documents reportedly connected to Adeyemi’s purported appointment.
However, Ibrahim said the clarification from the UN Youth Office effectively cleared Gbajabiamila of the allegation, arguing that the official communication established that Adeyemi had no appointment or formal relationship with the UN Youth Office.
He said the UN position should put the controversy in its proper perspective and end claims portraying Adeyemi as an appointee or representative of the organisation.
Ibrahim urged the media and members of the public to rely on official communications from the United Nations and other competent authorities when reporting issues relating to international appointments.
He warned that reliance on unverified claims could fuel misinformation and cause reputational damage to individuals and institutions.
The envoy stressed that the latest clarification represented the official position of the UN Youth Office on Adeyemi’s alleged appointment.
