ABUJA (PRECISE POST) – Vice President Kashim Shettima has departed New York, United States, following a successful representation of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the 80th Session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA 80).
During his engagements at the high-level global summit, Vice President Shettima received António Guterres for Nigeria’s renewed push for a permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council, a long-standing diplomatic priority for the country.
In addition to his advocacy at the UN, the Vice President used the platform to promote Nigeria’s $200 billion energy transition initiative, highlighting investment opportunities to international stakeholders and investors.
He also deepened strategic partnerships with the United Kingdom, holding discussions focused on trade, defence, and migration in line with Nigeria’s broader foreign policy objectives.
Vice President Shettima was seen off at John F. Kennedy International Airport by members of his delegation, including Cabinet Ministers and officials from the Nigerian Mission to the UN.
He is expected to proceed to Germany for further engagements before returning to Nigeria.
