Nigeria’s Vice-President Returns from UN General Assembly, Set to Mark Independence Anniversary

Nigerian Vice-President Kashim Shettima has returned to Abuja after representing President Bola Tinubu at the 79th Session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York. Shettima’s successful attendance at the event culminated in his presentation of Nigeria’s National Statement at the General Debate.

The Vice-President’s spokesperson, Stanley Nkwocha, confirmed Shettima’s activities during the assembly, stating that he participated in several bilateral meetings and numerous sideline events. As part of the celebrations, Shettima will soon join President Tinubu to commemorate Nigeria’s 64th Independence anniversary.

Nigeria’s participation in the UNGA serves as an important platform for the country to engage with global leaders and stakeholders, furthering its diplomatic efforts. The event also provides an opportunity for Nigeria to express its commitment to global initiatives and promote its national interests.

As Nigeria marks this significant milestone, it is likely that the country’s leadership will use the occasion to reflect on its journey so far and reaffirm its commitment to the development of its people.
