Nigeria’s Vice-President Kashim Shettima joined world leaders at the opening of the 81st United Nations General Assembly, according to PREMIUM TIMES. The report says he is scheduled to deliver Nigeria’s national statement on Thursday.

Nigeria’s Vice-President Kashim Shettima joined world leaders at the opening of the 81st United Nations General Assembly, PREMIUM TIMES reported. The report says Shettima will deliver Nigeria’s statement on Thursday. The supplied material does not specify the venue, the time of the address or the issues he is expected to raise.

It also does not provide details of Shettima’s meetings, the Nigerian delegation or the subjects discussed during the opening of the session. The reference to the 81st General Assembly identifies the event at which the vice-president is participating. However, the available account does not describe the session’s agenda, other speakers or any resolutions under consideration.

No remarks from Shettima are included, and the material does not state whether he has already made statements on Nigeria’s priorities or international concerns. The report therefore confirms his attendance and says he is due to present Nigeria’s national statement on Thursday. Further information about the speech and the government’s diplomatic programme is not contained in the supplied source material.

No reactions or additional developments are reported.
