The President , Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd . ) , says if the United Nations system cannot mobilise the world to marshal out an effective response to the COVID- 19 pandemic , then the organisation would have failed in its core mission.
Buhari said this late Tuesday while delivering Nigeria ’ s National Statement via video - message , on the first day of the 75 th session of the UN General Assembly Debate .
The theme of this year’ s General Assembly is ” The Future We Want , The United Nations We Need: Reaffirming Our Collective Commitment to Multilateralism - Confronting Coronavirus Through Effective Multilateral Action . ”
Buhari promised that Nigeria will continue to partner with the World Health Organisation and some countries to ensure accelerated development and manufacturing , as well as the uninhibited supply of safe and effective Coronavirus vaccines to all.
He also pledged Nigeria ’ s commitment to working with member states in the spirit of global cooperation and solidarity to promote human health and general well - being .
He said , ”As we reflect on the future we want and the United Nations we need , we must realise that the people of the world not only look up to us : they count on us .
” If the United Nations system cannot mobilise the world to marshal out a truly effective and inclusive response to the coronavirus pandemic , then the United Nations would have failed in the core mission of giving expression , direction and solution to the yearnings of the international community.
” The future we want must guarantee human rights , human dignity, human prospects and prosperity. The principles of ‘ Leaving No One Behind and Doing No Harm ’ must be expressed through accountability, strategic growth initiatives and elimination of threats of all kinds . ”
Buhari boasted that his regime had come up with different measures to provide a future of hope for Nigerians . He mentioned the implementation of the Economic Sustainability Plan and the Medium Term National Development for the period 2020 - 2025 and 2026 - 2030 as parts of the measures put in place by his regime .
” We expect that these ambitious initiatives will deliver sustainable economic growth and development to Nigeria , ” he said .
Buhari expressed concern that the COVID- 19 pandemic has devastated the world economy , straining the capabilities of the health systems of many countries , including Nigeria .
He said , “ In the aftermath of the Coronavirus outbreak in Nigeria, we prioritised vulnerable groups , including women , children , older persons and the unemployed , in our efforts to provide medical and social assistance to cushion the socio-economic effects of the disease .
” Accordingly , we have expanded our National Social Register , to include an additional one million Nigerians . Our National Social Investment Programme has been the vehicle for reaching out to the poor and vulnerable members of the Nigerian population , as well as providing cover for over 12 million households. ”
The President lauded the efforts of the UN and the WHO in combating the pandemic . He applauded the $ 2 bn Global Response Plan launched by the UN Secretary - General to fund the coronavirus response in the poorest countries .
The President also commended the Secretary - General ’ s call for a cease -fire in conflict areas to enable humanitarian assistance reach groups vulnerable to Coronavirus .
He said his regime had commenced the disbursement of N10 . 9 bn to households on Micro , Small and Medium Enterprises as palliatives as part of measures to reduce poverty.
He added that N500 bn fiscal stimulus package and sustained delivery of humanitarian and social interventions to poor and vulnerable households have been established , while the Central Bank of Nigeria launched a N3 . 5 trn stimulus package to boost manufacturing and facilitate import substitution .
He urged the international community to cooperate in addressing the scourge of poverty , particularly in developing countries . The President said Nigeria remained concerned over the illicit trade, transfer and circulation of small arms and light weapons, particularly in Africa . He called on the international community to renew efforts to stem this traffic and promote the Arms Trade Treaty in order to codify accountability in the battle against trans - border crimes , including terrorism and acts of piracy.
He also urged world leaders to redouble efforts to ensure collective security . Buhari described terrorist attacks across the globe as a harsh reality of the challenges the world is facing today .
” In Nigeria , we are still facing violent extremism from the insurgency of Boko Haram and bandits .
” We continue to count on our strong cooperation with UN Counter -Terrorism bodies and neighbouring countries to overcome the terrorists in the Lake Chad Basin and the wider Sahel region .
” We will vigorously sustain the rehabilitation , reconstruction and resettlement of victims of terrorism and insurgency in the North East . The North - East Development Commission has been established for that purpose , ” he said .
On illicit financial flows, the President Buhari declared that the global aspiration to recover from the impact of COVID- 19 will not be fully met without addressing structures that make it more difficult for countries to generate and retain their financial resources .
In this regard , the President again thanked Prof . Muhammad - Bande as well as the immediate past President of the Economic and Social Council , Ambassador Mona Jul , for jointly launching the High - Level Panel on International Financial Accountability , Transparency and Integrity ( FACTI ) for Achieving the 2030 Agenda .
On climate change , the President reiterated Nigeria ’ s commitment to the revitalisation of Lake Chad. He said , “ We are convinced that recharging the Lake will improve the living conditions of our people in the area , promote inter - state cooperation , strengthen community resilience and assist in addressing environmental and security challenges threatening the region and its resources . ”
Buhari renewed his call for international support for the regional efforts to raise $ 50 bn required to actualise the initiative .
On education , Buhari announced that Nigeria will be hosting the 4 th International Conference on Safe Schools in 2021 . ‘
‘ Quality education for all is the cornerstone of sustainable development.
” I invite you all to Nigeria to participate in the Conference which aims to advocate for the protection of education from attack as we work together towards the future we want , ” he said .
