The presidency has confirmed that President Muhammadu Buhari
has been scheduled to address
the 72nd session of the United Nations
General Assembly in the United States.
The UNGA is taking place on Tuesday, September 19, 2017.
Buhari is listed as number seven on the provincial list of speakers.
He is expected to speak after the leaders of Brazil, the United States, Guinea, Switzerland, Jordan and Slovakia.
Last week, news broke out of the president’s trip to the US, but the presidency quickly debunked it, saying that it was untrue.
However, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and
Publicity, Garba Shehu has confirmed to Punch that Buhari would attend
the UN General Assembly.
Shehu said, “I cannot tell you the time he will be going because it
can change but I know he is expected to be the eighth speaker at the UN.
So, he will be there and he will speak.”
