UN General Assembly Elects Nigerian As President by tstx(m): 9:11am On Jun 05, 2019
Nigeria's Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Amb. Tijjani Muhammad-Bande, has emerged President of the 74th UN General Assembly.



This makes him the 74th holder of the position taking over from Ecuardorian María Fernanda Espinosa Garcés. "Peace and security, poverty eradication, zero hunger, quality education, climate action and inclusion will constitute a major priority of my presidency," said Muhammad-Bande.

Muhammad Bande, the sole candidate for the position, was elected through acclamation at the 87th plenary meeting of the Assembly in New York on Tuesday.

Prof Bande, who will take office in September, is the second Nigerian to hold the office after Joseph Garba, a retired military officer and diplomat, who led the organization between 1989 and 1990.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has applauded the emergence of Prof. Bande, describing it as a positive development and demonstrates the confidence in Nigeria's ability to pilot the affairs of the revered global institution.
