VP Shettima Departs Abuja For US To Attend 79th UNGA

By Johnathan Nda-Isiaah

At the behest of President Bola Tinubu, Vice President Kashim Shettima has departed Abuja on Sunday for the United States to attend the 79th Session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA).

It would be recalled that President Tinubu had directed the Vice President to lead the Nigerian delegation to the high-level global forum, while he focuses on addressing pressing domestic issues, including the recent devastating flood disaster.

According to a statement by the VP’s spokesman, Stanley Nkwocha, during the session, Vice President Shettima will deliver Nigeria’s national statement, participate in key meetings on the sidelines of the event, and engage in bilateral meetings.

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,” is scheduled to take place from September 24 to 28, 2024 in New York.
