Vice-President Kashim Shettima has returned to Abuja after representing President Bola Tinubu at the 80th Session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) and concluding high-level engagements in Germany.
The Vice-President’s spokesperson, Mr. Stanley Nkwocha, disclosed this in a statement on Thursday in Abuja.
Nkwocha said that during the week-long international assignment, Shettima delivered President Tinubu’s national statement, where he called for comprehensive UN reforms, championed Africa’s sovereignty over its $700 billion mineral resources, and deepened strategic partnerships with the United Kingdom, the Gates Foundation, and other global stakeholders.
He added that Shettima also met with UN Secretary-General António Guterres, who commended Nigeria’s bid for a permanent seat on the UN Security Council.
“The Vice-President also showcased the country’s 200 billion dollars energy transition opportunity to global investors. He also assured the Nigerian diaspora community of robust engagement in the President Tinubu administration’s policies and programmes before his engagements in Germany,” Nkwocha said.
