President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday accepted an invitation from the United Nations Secretary-General, Mr. Ban Ki-Moon, to a meeting of world leaders in New York.

The meeting is expected to formulate a fresh plan of action against extremism.

Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, disclosed this in a statement made available to journalists.

Shehu said President Barack Obama and President Francois Hollande of France are also expected to participate in the September 28 meeting which will, among other things deliberate on a new UN draft resolution on combating extremism worldwide.

He said the UN scribe also invited Buhari to a meeting of a select group of 25 World leaders in New York on September 27 to deliberate on a global climate change agreement.

The presidential spokesman said in offering the invitations, the UN scribe said they were in recognition of the political will demonstrated by Buhari in combating terror in Nigeria and dealing with environmental issues.

He said Ban applauded moves by the present administration to clean up Ogoniland and promised the full support of the United Nations for the exercise.

“We will find ways to complement your leadership on environmental reform. We are happy with your plans for the restoration of Ogoniland and we will see how we can help,” he quoted the UN scribe as saying.

Shehu added that Ban said the UN would welcome the President’s “input and experience” in finalising plans to introduce a new resolution against extremism at the General Assembly.

Good. But his handlers should prepare him well, We wouldn't want to hear another "West Germany" scenario.

Will he tk delegates wit him along?

Very good move mr presido... Hope during the meeting great and favourable topics will be brought to help our nation move forward...
Even the young man in the pic do not agree that Nigeria is a nation with great economy...

The international community are happy with the new direction in Nigeria

Buhari has met with the leaders of the US, UK, Germany, France and now the UN President. They all see that things are no longer the same as it was under the Otueke drunkard.

The only people complaining are the wailing wailers united

shame on you bad people

keep wailing while Nigeria progresses

Lalasticlala, share the news biko

Lol.. go and back with nothing... funny pple.. hiwever safe trip sir o... we need you to fulfill thy promises...

The zoo called Nigeria has really a dog as a leader. Please can someone tell Mr. Ban Ki-Moon, the point man of the fraudulent organization known as UN, that Ogoni land had a town named Bori that needs upgrade and facelift such as Lagos and Abuja? The term “cleanup” is a fraudulent word that will fetch the Ogoni people absolutely nothing on the long run.

He said Ban applauded moves by the present administration to clean up Ogoniland and promised the full support of the United Nations for the exercise.

“We will find ways to complement your leadership on environmental reform. We are happy with your plans for the restoration of Ogoniland and we will see how we can help,” he quoted the UN scribe as saying.

In case wailers missed this part. Even the secretary general of the United Nation applauds the move by amiable Buhari to clean up Ogoni land, Only a hypocrite wouldn't.

Uncle jona..did u get the chance to dine with world leaders? Hell no..u are too clueless to get an invitation...you can only dine with people like mugabe, al assad and bacanister

well..... i have belive that PMB will take Nigeria to the promising land insha Allah........... any objections?....tola9ja

Little Johnny comes in to school one morning wearing a brand new watch. His best friend, little
Benny, wants to know where the watch is from, so Johnny tells his story: “I was coming from the
bathroom to my bedroom when I heard a strange noise from my parent’s bedroom. I walked in and
saw them bouncing up and down. Dad said I could have anything I wanted as long as I didn’t tell the
family. I asked for a new watch and here it is.”
Benny decides he wants one too, so night after night he listens outside his parents’ bedroom for any
strange noises and, sure enough, eventually he hears some banging and groaning from the other side of
the door. He walks in and catches his parents in the act, so his dad offers him anything he wants to
keep quiet about the whole affair. Benny immediately says, “I want a watch.”
The dad sighs and says, “Alright, but go and stand in the corner and don’t make any noise.”

ok

Good one..... In another news...

Happy birthday to me...

The zoo called Nigeria is more organized than the jungle called Biafra.

Actually to be honest, they're both on the same spectrum. So carry on.
