Nigeria’s engagement with the United Nations this year will be guided by national interest and a commitment to multilateralism, according to Vice-President Kashim Shettima, as described by Reuben Abati in Premium Times. Shettima is leading Nigeria’s delegation to the UN this year. Abati’s article says he also led the Nigerian delegation during the two preceding sessions, identified as the 79th and 80th.
The article presents the UN as an assembly marked by divided interests. Against that backdrop, it considers the importance of Nigeria defining its priorities while participating in the multilateral institution. The supplied material does not list the specific issues Nigeria intends to raise, name the meetings Shettima will attend or provide details of any planned agreements.
It also does not include a full statement from the Vice-President beyond the description of the principles guiding the delegation. The account is an opinion article by Reuben Abati rather than a report detailing decisions taken at the UN. Its available focus is Nigeria’s stated approach: pursuing national interest while maintaining a commitment to multilateralism.
