Nigeria’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Amb Jimoh Ibrahim, on Wednesday, said President Bola Tinubu has confirmed his attendance at the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, United States, scheduled for September.
This was as a source with knowledge of the discussions further told our correspondent that a chance meeting with United States President Donald Trump appears likely, as Tinubu is expected to be seated just a few seats away from the American president on the front row of the General Assembly hall.
Ibrahim revealed this when he briefed State House correspondents after meeting with Tinubu at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The former lawmaker had visited the Villa on Tuesday and returned on Wednesday to conclude discussions with the President.
He said, “The President has generously agreed to attend the UNGA meeting of the United Nations.
“It is significant because Mr President has a speech to give to the whole world about the reform success in Nigeria, and that has been slated for September.
“So Nigeria will be effectively present at UNGA.”
