His Excellency Dennis Francis of the Republic of Trinidad & Tobago will preside over the General Assembly this year.
The addresses given by the Heads of State will alternate throughout the General Assembly.
At the Assembly, Tinubu promised to “emphasize Nigeria’s efforts towards attaining the SDGs, combating climate change, and guaranteeing international peace and security, among others.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs Spokesperson, Francisa Omayuli, said in a statement on Monday that “the important issue of illicit financial flows and asset return will also be re-echoed, to encourage stronger international cooperation.”
On September 19, the President is anticipated to give his debut national address on the floor of the UN building.
Since taking office as president in May, Tinubu has never attended the UNGA.
