Buhari's Speech At The 71st UN General Assembly (Full Text) by Nobody: 12:09am On Sep 21, 2016 |
STATEMENT BY HIS EXCELLENCY, MUHAMMADU BUHARI PRESIDENT OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA AT THE 71ST SESSION OF THE UNITED NATIONS GENERAL ASSEMBLY NEW YORK, USA 20 SEPTEMBER 2016 ECONOMIC DIVERSIFICATION 5. Nigeria as a developing country has been adversely affected by the global economic downturn. We are, however, undeterred and have embarked on a wide range of reforms in our efforts to diversify our economy and shift emphasis to mining, agriculture, industrialization, infrastructure development and the creation of the enabling environment for Foreign Direct Investment. WAR AGAINST CORRUPTION 7. Fighting corruption remains a cardinal pillar of our administration. Corruption freezes development, thereby undermining the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. I am pleased that our efforts in fighting corruption are yielding positive results including significant stolen assets recoveries. CLIMATE CHANGE 13. The world took a giant step in Paris, towards addressing the challenges of Climate Change. Nigeria is proud to have been part of the process leading to the adoption of the Paris Agreement in December 2015 at the 21st meeting of the Conference of Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. 2 Likes |

[b] GLOBAL TERRORISM 19. The 21st century has been marked by the rising insecurity unleashed by global terrorism and violent extremism. Indeed, which constitute a real threat to the international community. With the global increase in the spate of terrorist attacks, there is now, more than ever before, international consensus and greater willingness to collaborate in combating this threat. MIGRANTS, REFUGEES AND IDPs 28. The flow of refugees and migrants world wide has attained alarming proportions. In this wise Nigeria supports the Ceasefire Agreement brokered by the United States and Russia to end the atrocious tragedy of the Syrian civil war. Of particular concern to us in Nigeria is the plight of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) arising from Boko Haram terrorism. We have taken concrete steps to address their humanitarian needs and to ensure that necessary conditions are established to enable the voluntary return of the displaced persons to their places of abode in safety and dignity. Mr. President THE PALESTINIAN ISSUE 29. At the same time, the Palestinian issue, despite years and years of international efforts is no nearer to being resolved. Nigeria in company with member States of the African Union, firmly support the Two- State solution with Palestinian rights to statehood in conformity, with numerous Security Council Resolutions beginning with Resolution 242 of 1967. BUHARI CALLS FOR ESTABLISHMENT OF UN AGENCY FOR YOUTH 31. We acknowledge the importance of youth in national development and remain committed to harnessing the potential of the increasing youth bulge. We must take advantage of the numbers and creative energy of young people who are in the majority in Nigeria and in most other member states. Therefore, at the international level, we call for the establishment of a specialized UN agency for youth development to achieve this strategic objective. NUCLEAR SECURITY 32. Nuclear security remains central to our quest for durable peace and security. This was why I participated in the 5th Nuclear Security Summit hosted by President Barak Obama in Washington in March, 2016. Nigeria and the other peace-loving member States of the United Nations must continue to uphold the fundamental principles of nuclear disarmament non-proliferation and its peaceful uses. Mr. President, BUHARI CALLS FOR REFORMATION AND TRANSPARENCY IN UNITED NATION 33. The United Nations should now redouble the long protected effort for its reform to enable it to effectively address the challenges of our times. Nigeria, therefore, reiterates its call for the reform of the United Nations Security Council, in particular to reflect equitable and fair representation and greater transparency, legitimacy and inclusiveness in its decision making.

Reduce the cost of governance got me thinking with those figures I saw as the executive allowances. Then fighting corruption part of course we can truly truly truly see the results as some set of people are being shielded. Then on diversification, I really do not know if is by searching for oil in other places or is there any other diversification? 16 Likes 1 Share |

First off Zoohari Sir he forgot to mention number 5 on world terrorist list, the Fulani Herdsmen. 2nd how are you calling on UN to help youths while you promised free lunch, stipens to unemployed graduates and even now your government refuse to pay your part of the fees owed to schools GEJ founded? Where is the transparency you promised in telling us who and how much of the stolen loot you have supposedly collected. BTW which infrastructure projects you pour those money into? 17 Likes |

Buhari is an unchangeable changer... Whenever he shows up, everything changes from bad to worse but he, the agent of change, fails to change. He is the only constant thing in Nigeria. He has remained constant in lies and deceit, blaming everything around him for his failures... We need to change the Changer to have positive change. 1 Like 1 Share |
