Nigeria's Vice-President Advocates for UN Security Council Seat
Nigeria is set to renew its campaign for permanent representation on the United Nations Security Council as Vice-President Kashim Shettima leads the country's engagements at the 81st Session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York. Shettima, representing President Bola Tinubu, will engage in high-level meetings to advocate for UN reforms, improved development outcomes for developing countries, and increased international investment in Nigeria.
The agenda was outlined by Foreign Affairs Minister Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu and Nigeria’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Ambassador Jimoh Ibrahim. Stanley Nkwocha, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Communications, stated that Shettima would convey President Tinubu’s positions, particularly regarding Nigeria's push for a permanent seat on the Security Council.
This renewed campaign aligns with ongoing calls from African countries for restructuring the UN's decision-making body, which currently lacks permanent representation for Africa despite its significant number of member states.
