Vice President Kashim Shettima will represent Nigeria at the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York next week, departing Abuja tomorrow to lead the country's delegation. His trip comes as President Bola Tinubu is expected to return to Nigeria today after spending about three weeks in Europe. The development contrasts with an earlier plan announced by Nigeria's permanent representative to the United Nations, Ambassador Jimoh Ibrahim, who said in July that Tinubu would personally attend the 2026 UNGA. Ibrahim had stated that Tinubu agreed to attend and participate in selected high-level side events, where he was expected to present the administration's reform agenda to the international community.
