Eugene Koffi Adoboli

Eugene Koffi Adoboli (born October 3, 1934) served as Prime Minister of Togo from 21 May 1998 to 31 August 2000. He was previously an international civil servant at the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) in Geneva and the United Nations Joint Inspection Unit for over 40 years.[1] At the time of his appointment by President Gnassingbé Eyadéma following the March 1999 parliamentary election, Adoboli was virtually unknown in Togolese politics.[2]
