Nigeria and UN Collaborate to Enhance West Africa Border Security

On Wednesday, Nigeria's Ambassador to the United Nations, Jimoh Ibrahim, disclosed that Nigeria will collaborate with the UN to strengthen border security across West Africa. This announcement came during a meeting with President Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.

President Tinubu directed immediate engagement with the UN to support efforts aimed at improving border security in the sub-region, highlighting the region's porous borders as a significant security challenge that necessitates stronger international cooperation. Ibrahim expressed confidence that the UN would support Nigeria's initiative to enhance regional border security.

He confirmed that President Tinubu accepted an invitation to attend the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in September, where he will address world leaders on his administration's reform agenda and participate in high-level meetings on energy, education, and healthcare. Ibrahim did not comment on whether Tinubu would meet U.S.
