President Buhari stated this while receiving the President of the 74th United Nations General Assembly, Professor Tijjani Muhammad-Bande, on Monday at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
He, therefore, urged the UN General Assembly President to make Nigeria’s challenges glaring to the world, while commending him for what he called “your hard work and competence” so far.
President Buhari noted that Nigeria was committed to education and providing healthcare to the young and old, among other welfarist policies.
In his remarks, Professor Muhammad-Bande said he was at the State House to express appreciation to President Buhari for the support given, leading to his emergence as UNGA President and the continued cooperation from Nigeria.
