We Will Be Strict – Tinubu Cuts Nigeria’s Delegation To UN General Assembly

President Bola Tinubu has cut down the number of Nigeria’s official delegation to the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly, UNGA, in New York, USA, this September.

This was revealed his Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila, during a one-day retreat organised by the State House management for heads of government agencies under its supervision on Saturday.

His comments were contained in a statement signed by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale.

Gbajabiamila said, “During recent protests, there were talks about reduction in the cost of governance. Everyone is waiting to see if Nigeria, as in the past, will send the ‘largest delegation’ to UNGA.

”From experience, we know that some individuals use the opportunity of such international meetings to go about their personal businesses.

”I have received a directive from Mr. President that this time, we will be strict. If you have no business at the UN General Assembly, do not step foot in America, and this is a directive from Mr. President.”
