The theme of the current General Assembly is: “Galvanising multilateral efforts for poverty eradication, quality education, climate action and inclusion”. A stable and developed Nigeria is required to effectively support global efforts in combating and seeking solutions to equally global threats and challenges that we face, he said.
He said that the Federal Government’s aim to “rebuild the economy, empower our citizens through social investments, curb corruption, check terrorism and other crimes, the President Buhari administration has demonstrated its solid commitment to the principles of the United Nations as regards mutual cooperation and partnership with member nations.”
He said the ongoing implementation of the National Social Investment Programme, the administration’s diversification drive, its commitment to climate change and the dangers it portends as shown in its deforestation programmes to increase forest coverage across the country as well as fight against graft are indications that the Buhari administration is taking Nigeria on the path of growth and development
“The Party assures that under the President Buhari administration, Nigeria will remain a reliable and frontline global partner in the promotion of international peace, security and sustainable development.
“The work to rebuild the country is not fully accomplished, but we can look back with pride at the strides and successes we have accomplished. With the support of Nigerians and indeed our global partners we will achieve the Nigeria of our dreams,” he concluded
