US Grants Unrestricted Transit to Nigerian President Tinubu and Family for UN General Assembly

During the United Nations General Assembly, Nigeria’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Ambassador Jimoh Ibrahim, confirmed that President Bola Tinubu and his family will travel through the United States without any movement restrictions. Ibrahim, who also chairs the UN Committee on Budget and Administration, stated that the president and his relatives cannot be arrested while attending the Assembly. The announcement clarifies that the U. S. will not impose travel or legal barriers on the Nigerian delegation during the event. This ensures that Tinubu and his family can participate fully in the Assembly’s sessions and diplomatic engagements without interruption.
