António Guterres, Secretary General of the United Nations (UN), has received and accredited Jimoh Ibrahim as Nigeria’s permanent representative to the multilateral body.
Ibrahim presented his letter of credence on Monday, marking
the beginning of his posting.
On April 1, the former senator received his letter of
credence from the Nigerian foreign ministry after being cleared to resume
duties.
According to a statement issued by Temitope Ajayi, senior
special assistant to President Bola Tinubu on media and publicity, Ibrahim
assured the UN and the global community that Tinubu would resolve generational
problems confronting Nigeria.
Ibrahim also sought the support and cooperation of the
international community.
Ibrahim’s posting was met with stiff criticism from some
civil society organisations (CSOs) over alleged graft litigation.
The CSOs petitioned Tinubu and Guterres to review the former
senator’s ambassadorial posting, saying his nomination as Nigeria’s permanent
representative to the UN was a matter of “significant national and
international consequence”.
Here are photos from his confirmed accreditation.
