Vice President Kashim Shettima has returned to Abuja after representing President Bola Tinubu at the 80th Session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York and concluding high-level engagements in Germany.
During the week-long mission, Shettima delivered Tinubu’s national statement at the UNGA, calling for comprehensive United Nations reforms. He also advocated for Africa’s sovereignty over its $700 billion mineral resources and strengthened partnerships with the United Kingdom, the Gates Foundation, and other international stakeholders.
The Vice President met with UN Secretary-General António Guterres, who commended Nigeria’s bid for a permanent seat on the UN Security Council.
In another engagement, Shettima presented Nigeria’s $200 billion energy transition opportunity to global investors. He also assured the Nigerian diaspora community of robust engagement in the administration’s policies and programmes.
