President Muhammadu Buhari will on Tuesday, September 25, deliver Nigeria’s national statement at the 73rd Session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
Buhari would be the 20th of the 193 world leaders that would address the Assembly.
The Nigerian leader would deliver the address to the Assembly during the afternoon session on the first day between 8.00 p.m. and 9.00 p.m. (between 1.00 a.m. and 2.00 a.m. Nigerian time).
Brazil’s president would be the first world leader to address the session followed by his US counterpart.
The 2018 General Assembly would be Buhari’s fourth outing since becoming president in 2015.
The Nigerian leader’s address during his first outing in 2015, in part, outlined his three cardinal agenda – security, economy and anti-corruption.
His two subsequent addresses in his outings in 2016 and 2017 also highlighted some of his achievements so far in these areas.
The 73rd session of the Assembly would open on 18 September, 2018, till October 5, while the General Debate would commence on 25 September to October 1.
