Shettima to Head Nigeria’s UNGA Delegation as President Tinubu Appoints Him

President Tinubu has appointed Vice‑President Bola Shettima to lead Nigeria’s delegation to the United Nations General Assembly, a move that underscores the administration’s focus on continuity in foreign policy. The decision follows a series of domestic developments, including the death of former Kogi governor Ibrahim Idris and the All‑Progressive Congress’s victory in four recent by‑elections. Meanwhile, the Okun‑Kogi movement has called for an apology from the National Democratic Congress over alleged misconduct. Shettima’s appointment places him at the forefront of Nigeria’s diplomatic engagement on the world stage, where he will represent the country’s interests in key UN discussions. The shift signals a strategic emphasis on stable leadership in international forums.
