The Society of Young Nigerian Writers (SYNW Global), a distinguished member of the International Authors Forum (IAF), has extended its warm congratulations to Kevin Fitzgerald CMG on his recent appointment as the new Secretary General of the IAF. This notable achievement has been met with great enthusiasm by SYNW Global, who is eager to celebrate and support Kevin in his new role.

In a press release issued by Wole Adedoyin, the President of SYNW Global, the society expressed full confidence in Kevin Fitzgerald’s leadership abilities. His extensive experience and impressive career, particularly in his previous roles at the United Nations World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) as Cabinet Director and Director of Digital Outreach, position him as a highly qualified individual to lead the IAF into its next phase of global advocacy.

Kevin’s expertise in intellectual property law and digital innovation is expected to play a pivotal role in enhancing the IAF's international influence and advocacy efforts for authors worldwide. His deep understanding of copyright law and its digital implications will enable the IAF to better serve the global community of authors, protecting their rights in an increasingly digital and interconnected world.

SYNW Global is particularly excited about Kevin’s vision for expanding the IAF’s international presence. As an active member of the IAF, SYNW Global acknowledged the significance of this development and anticipates that Kevin’s leadership will strengthen relationships with international stakeholders, governments, and organizations, ensuring that authors’ voices continue to resonate in global policy discussions.

The Society of Young Nigerian Writers also expressed its anticipation that under Kevin’s stewardship, the IAF will continue to lead the charge in advocating for the protection of intellectual property, fair compensation for authors, and the creation of accessible platforms for creative expression. These are key causes that SYNW Global is passionate about and actively supports within Nigeria's literary community.

SYNW Global once again congratulates Kevin Fitzgerald CMG on his appointment and looks forward to working closely with him and the IAF to further the shared goals of promoting the rights and interests of authors worldwide. The society is confident that his leadership will drive positive change and advance the mission of the IAF for years to come.

The Society of Young Nigerian Writers wished Kevin Fitzgerald every success in his new role and reaffirms its commitment to supporting the IAF’s ongoing efforts to build a more equitable and inclusive literary world for all authors.
