President Bola Tinubu has touched down at New York's John F. Kennedy Airport, marking his arrival for the 78th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA). Welcoming him were Nigeria's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Yusuf Tuggar, and the country's Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Prof. Tijjani Muhammad-Bande, along with several other government officials.
This year's UNGA centers around the theme: "Rebuilding Trust and Reigniting Global Solidarity: Accelerating Action on the 2030 Agenda and its Sustainable Development Goals towards Peace, Prosperity, Progress, and Sustainability for All."
President Tinubu is slated to deliver his inaugural National Statement on September 19, coinciding with the first day of the High-Level General Debate during the 78th UNGA Session. Prior to participating in this general debate, the President will collaborate with fellow world leaders in the High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development, which is also known as the UN 2023 Summit on SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals).
Tinubu's attendance at the UNGA reflects Nigeria's commitment to global cooperation and its proactive engagement in addressing critical international issues, including the pursuit of sustainable development and peace on a global scale.
