President Tinubu has instructed that attendance at the
United Nations General Assembly, UNGA, be limited to only those who have
official business there.
The Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila,
announced this during a one-day retreat organised by the State House management
for the leaders of government agencies under its oversight.
He said: “I just discussed with the President this
afternoon. In the next few weeks, we are going to see a test of this policy
during UNGA in New York.
“During recent protests, there were talks about a 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.”
