Vice President Kashim Shettima has returned to Abuja after representing President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the just concluded 79th Session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, United States.Spokesman to the Vice President, Stanley Nkwocha, disclosed this in a statement on Sunday.

During the session in New York, Shettima called on world leaders to recommit themselves to the reform of the United Nations Security Council.

He canvassed permanent seats for Nigeria and other African countries, stressing that it has since become imperative for the UN to strengthen its relevance and credibility in a rapidly changing world.

“Some permanent members of the United Nations Security Council have offered encouraging, if tentative indications of support on the issue of reform of the Council. We welcome the change in tone and urge an acceleration in momentum to the process,” Shettima said.

“The Security Council should be expanded, in the permanent and non-permanent member categories, to reflect the diversity and plurality of the world. We fully support the efforts of Secretary-General Guterres in this regard.”

The vice president said the “United Nations stands for multilateralism, which represents inclusiveness, anchored on the tripod of peace, sustainable development, and human rights.”
