The President of the federal republic of Nigeria Muhammadu Buhari will by next week lead a
delegation of the Federal Government to New York where he
would address the 71st regular session of the United Nations,
UN, General Assembly on September 21, 2016.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Geoffrey Onyeama, who
disclosed this in Abuja on Friday, explained that the President
would use the opportunity to build on his excellent
relationship with other world leaders and demand the
recovery of illicit and looted funds.
He revealed that the Nigerian government would make a case
for the election of an Afro-centric UN Secretary-General, who
would be pro-developing countries.
Onyeama stated that Buhari would also push for the
candidature of Nigerians into various international agencies
which he said had influence on UN policy and programmes
globally.
While arguing that it was absolutely important that Nigeria
engaged in multilateral relations, he stated that the country
had candidates for positions in International Civil Aviation
Authority and the United Nations Human Rights Council.
