- Bola Ahmed Tinubu, President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, addresses the general debate of the 78th Session of the General Assembly of the United Nations (New York, 19 - 26 September 2023).
BOLA AHMED TINUBU, President of Nigeria, said that, while failures in good governance have hindered Africa, “broken promises, unfair treatment and outright exploitation from abroad have also exacted a heavy toll on our ability to progress”. Due to both longstanding internal and external factors, the economic structures of Nigeria and Africa have been skewed to impede development, industrial expansion, job creation and the equitable distribution of wealth. If Nigeria is to fulfil its duty to its people and the rest of Africa, it must create jobs, a belief in a better future and lead by example. “And we are doing so,” he stressed, detailing his Government’s removal of a costly, corrupt fuel subsidy and a noxious exchange-rate system. “Other growth and job-oriented reforms are in the wings,” he added.
Welcoming partnerships with those “who do not mind seeing Nigeria and Africa assume larger roles in the global community”, he said that the question is not whether his country is open for business. Rather, he emphasized, it is “how much the world is truly open to doing business with Nigeria and Africa in an equal, mutually beneficial manner”. Direct investment in critical industries, the opening of ports to a wider range and larger quantity of African exports and meaningful debt relief are important aspects of this cooperation. He also underlined the need to affirm democratic governance as “the best guarantor of the sovereign will and well-being of the people”. Military coups are wrong - as is any tilted civilian political arrangement that perpetuates injustice - but he observed that the wave crossing Africa is not a demonstration in favour of coups. Rather, “it is a demand for solutions to perennial problems”, he said.
He went on to say that the West Africa region “is locked in protracted battle against violent extremists”, and - in the turmoil - “a dark channel of inhumane commerce has formed”. Along that route, everything is for sale, and men, women and children are seen as chattel. At the same time, mercenaries and extremists invade from the north with lethal weapons and vile ideologies. While African nations will improve their economies and disband extremists on their turf, he called on the international community to strengthen its commitment to “arrest the flow of arms and violent people into West Africa”. Another important aspect of global solidarity is to secure Africa’s mineral-rich areas from pilfering and conflict, he stressed, noting that many such areas have become “catacombs of misery and exploitation” and that “the mayhem visited on resource-rich areas does not respect national boundaries”.
He said that, at Nigeria’s door, foreign entities - abetted by local criminals aspiring to be petty warlords - have drafted thousands of people into servitude to illegally mine gold and other resources. Billions of dollars meant to improve the nation now fuel violent enterprises, and Member States must deter their firms and nationals from this pillaging. He also detailed the severe impacts of climate change on his country, stating that African nations will fight climate change - “but must do so on fair and just terms”. Outlining several national measures, he said that continental efforts will register victories if established economies are “more forthcoming with public- and private-sector investment for Africa’s preferred initiatives”. Stressing that Africa does not wish to “replace old shackles with new ones”, he said that the continent is not a problem to be avoided, nor is it to be pitied. “Africa is nothing less than the key to the world’s future,” he said.
The UN General Assembly (UNGA) is the main policy-making organ of the Organization. Comprising all Member States, it provides a unique forum for multilateral discussion of the full spectrum of international issues covered by the Charter of the United Nations. Each of the 193 Member States of the United Nations has an equal vote.
The United Nations is an international organization founded in 1945. Currently made up of 193 Member States, the UN and its work are guided by the purposes and principles contained in its founding Charter.

The speech of Nigeria President at the UNGA is fair and structured, he has done better that the previous president.
They prepared the speak for him, he can't think for himself.
@@codeosagiedey play
@@codeosagieThat’s also okay. Thank you for the comment. As he dey pain you
Embarrasing
No one can speak in this kind of conference off hand
Great speech listening from Lusaka Zambia.
Olori ilu wa ni yen 🙌🏽 E patewo 😌🤗
Nigerian Presidents have always spoken well to impress the international community, yet Nigerians continue to see impunity, poverty in the mist of plenty on the rise. It's the worst thing on earth to have presidents ruling on deceits. It's disgusting.
You're right. Never mind all these paid nice comments. It's good we live in info tech world. Let the implementation of the speech start from himself.
IPOB riffraff please let us have peace .
@ Chinyere, we need to give our President some little time cos the situations before he came in was so bad. My candid opinion anyway.
@@felixabioye8430 That's the same thing you people said about PMB when he took over from GEJ. I don't know how you willingly and happily make the same mistakes over and over again. It is well sha.
They want a poor Nigeria so they can have migrants
I love the quote that 'every generation must for its relative obscurity discover it mission, it is either you defend it or betray it.' The time is coming and it's now, for those nations protesting the unfair status quo in the UN to take a stand. Leave and form a body that will serve your interest with like mind nations. Well done Mr President.
The Oracle has spoken 😂😂😂
hey masa be careful...🤣🤣🤣
May the rain start falling😂😂
Great speech, Queen English.
I tell u, not bla blu.
. 😊
One Day, Nigeria and Africa will be better in the future.
by God grace
Nigeria 🇳🇬 will not exist when that happens
This will happen when migrants return back
Wow, this Oga is awesome. I just hope that he will lead Nigeria into success. I really liked his speech, he just needs to start working on all the Nigerian challenges. I also pray that as ECOWAS chairman, he will also lead us in the right way. Bravo Mr. Tinubu!
❤❤❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏 just my first time stumbling to one of the speech of our newly selected Nigerian president, how excellency president Bola Hammed Tinubu, this speech is extremely educative , insighting and powerful. Thanks Mr president for ur courage and ur time spend in reading this speech sir
Awesome, remarkable indeed excellent speech but let's walk the talk rather than repeating same rhetorics all the time. My president, the world listens to you with apt attention. Nigeria is great.
Not just about speech it’s about action and not just talking and talking
Fool
Excellent speech in great support for Nigeria and Africa in general. He really hit the nail on the head!
Evil man nd looter
What nail? Which head?
Nice. God Bless you Mr President Well Spoken am really proud of you. Thank you. What an Intelligent Man 👏👍🇳🇬
Very intelligent, am proud of him . Great speech by the president
I’m also proud of our president. Great speech
I am not a proud of this dude but what the hell? He did great.
The mentioning of Africa by my president is mere rhetoric...We hardly have Pan Africanist presidents in Nigeria. Our presidents are always so embedded in local politics and trying to please the West.
Simply captivating and inspiring. Africa is the key to unlock the world, not a region seeking pity.
I truly hope and pray that Mr. president will work according to his words. Please help Africa, especially Nigeria. $1 = 1000 naira and this is not nice.
Please use your experience in politics to fight for Nigeria. Your supporters believe you to be the JaGaBan of politics, please extend your Jagabanism to global stage politics. Show them that you lost your ear very long ago(In Asake’s voice). I didn’t support you during the electioneering process because I had a more acceptable candidate, but now that you are the sitting president. Please sir, use this opportunity to better the country. Nigerians are some of the most patient people of this world, it won’t take much to please them. Please, I’m begging on behalf of the young people of Nigeria.
Thank you.
Chuka Ben.
Each of us has a role to play in protecting our planet🌍
Protecting our planet from who ????
@@Cavebabyberserker i wonder, all this internet kids
@@Cavebabyberserkerare you a 6 years old girl?
I like this man if he knows what is better for Africans' Interest. He was just sandwiched by the turn of events being an Ecowas chair. I hope this man can overcome the issues surround him both internal and external like any other elected leaders of Africa as of the moment.
He's a common criminal. She represents no one
You are out your fkn mind. Or just paid agent. Either way justice ⚖️ is here now
🙂I like the old man gesture, a kind of veteran in politics, let him prove his worth for a moment he has lead the country.
He’s a drug dealer. Nothing to like about him.
Is his voice for me joor, i like his voice mehn 👌
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria 🎉
Please share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with some people today somewhere
