Vice President Kashim Shettima has returned to Nigeria after leading the Nigerian delegation at the 81st Session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA 81) in New York, representing President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
According to the State House, the Vice President used his engagements at the global gathering to present Nigeria’s positions on several key issues, including UN Security Council reform, development financing, climate support, education, regional integration, economic cooperation, technology, peace and security.
During the visit, Vice President Shettima delivered President Tinubu’s National Statement at the General Debate and called for permanent African representation on the UN Security Council, alongside a fairer global financing system and stronger international cooperation.
He also participated in discussions on Africa’s mineral resources, with President Tinubu advocating for greater processing, manufacturing and value addition rather than simply exporting raw minerals.
Other engagements included discussions on education financing, meetings with Nigerians in the Diaspora, engagements with the ECOWAS Commission leadership and a meeting with UN Deputy Secretary-General Amina J. Mohammed.
