Vice President Kashim Shettima has left Abuja for New York to attend the 79th Session of the United Nations General Assembly. This trip, as noted by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Communication, Stanley Nkwocha, is “at the behest of President Bola Tinubu.”
President Tinubu has tasked the Vice President with leading Nigeria’s delegation at the high-level forum while he addresses pressing domestic issues, including the aftermath of recent devastating floods.
During the session, Vice President Shettima is expected to deliver Nigeria’s national statement, participate in key meetings on the sidelines, and engage in bilateral discussions. The high-level General Debate, themed “Leaving No One Behind: Acting Together for the Advancement of Peace, Sustainable Development, and Human Dignity for Present and Future Generations,” will take place from September 24 to September 28, 2024.
