President Bola Tinubu has expressed Nigeria’s readiness to represent Africa in the United Nations Security Council.
The president called on the council to reflect global diversity by allocating two permanent seats to Africa, as Nigeria “stands ready and willing to serve as a representative of Africa in this capacity.”
President Tinubu said this on Monday at the 19th G20 Leaders Summit opening session in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, according to a State House release issued early Tuesday by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.
Tinubu said, “The Security Council should expand its permanent and non-permanent member categories to reflect the world’s diversity and plurality.
While Tinubu commended the G20 for granting permanent membership to the African Union, he noted that such broad participation would give the opportunity for more inclusive and effective discussions to address shared global challenges.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has expressed his approval of the establishment of the Global Alliance Against Hunger and Poverty, an initiative led by President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva of Brazil.
