Vice President Shettima leaves for New York to attend UNGA 79

Vice President Kashim Shettima, on Sunday, left Abuja for New York, USA, to attend the 79th Session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA79) on behalf of President Bola Tinubu.

A statement by Senior Special Assistant on Media and Communications, Stanley Nkwocha, titled ‘Vice President Shettima Departs Abuja for US to Attend 79th UN General Assembly’, said that Tinubu had last week directed the Vice President to lead a Nigerian delegation to the high-level global forum, where he would address world leaders with a special focus on addressing pressing domestic issues, including the recent devastating floods.

“During the session, Vice President Shettima will deliver Nigeria’s national statement, participate in important sideline meetings, and engage in bilateral meetings,” Nkwocha added.

“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 24 to 28 September 2024,” he added.
