| Shettima arrives Abuja |
Vice President Kashim Shettima has returned to Abuja following his participation in the 79th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York, where he represented President Bola Tinubu.
During the assembly, he presented Nigeria's national statement, advocating for debt forgiveness for the country. Shettima also engaged in various bilateral meetings and sideline events.
He is set to join President Tinubu for activities commemorating Nigeria's 64th Independence Anniversary.
“Similarly, we must ensure that any reform of the international financial system includes comprehensive debt relief measures, to enable sustainable financing for development,” he had said.
“Countries of the global South cannot make meaningful economic progress without special concessions and a review of their current debt burden.”
In a statement on Sunday, Stanley Nkwocha, the vice-president’s spokesperson, said Shettima attended “several bilateral meetings and numerous sideline events at the general assembly”.
“He will proceed to join President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to mark some events put together as part of activities commemorating Nigeria’s 64th Independence anniversary,” Nkwocha said.
