Tinubu begs UN for Nigeria seat, calls Security Council unfair

Nigeria pursues a permanent position on the United Nations Security Council to achieve better global representation and institutional reform. Vice President Kasim Shettima delivered this message on behalf of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu during Wednesday's proceedings at the 80th UN General Assembly session in New York. The West African nation emphasizes its role as a regional peace builder and active contributor to international peacekeeping missions worldwide. Shettima argued that granting Nigeria permanent membership would address current inequities and strengthen the Security Council's legitimacy as the foundation of multilateral cooperation.
