Commonwealth Summit: VP Shettima Cancels Samoa Trip after aircraft damage by fergie001(mod): 11:29pm On Oct 24, 2024
Vice President Kashim Shettima’s planned trip to Samoa to represent Nigeria at the 2024 Commonwealth Heads Of Government Summit has been cancelled after a foreign object hit his plane during a stopover at JFK Airport in New York, United States.

According to a statement by Presidential spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, the foreign object damaged the cockpit windscreen of the plane.

President Tinubu, acting promptly, has approved a ministerial delegation to represent Nigeria at the summit in the Samoa capital of Apia while the plane’s repair has commenced.

The delegation, which will now represent Nigeria at the 2024 Commonwealth Heads Of Government Meeting (CHOGM) in Samoa, is being led by the Minister of Environment, Balarabe Abbas Lawal.

The summit began on the Pacific Island on October 21. It will end on October 26, 2024.

Vice President Shettima and Foreign Affairs !Minister, Amb. Yusuf Tuggar, have both left New York for Nigeria.

He should be in BRICS meeting holding in Russia and not that British neocolonial assembly where its all talk and no serious economic benefits.
Northern Nigeria is already seeing Nigeria beyond partner country in BRICS after Hausa was adopted as of its official languages in its currency.
He should take Ethiopia Air and come back, there's plenty work to be done at home

Imagine the fellow representing us. Anyway, this incidence calls for a new airliner for number 2. Since no1 own is 400 seater, we can get 300 seater airliner for him. One with swimming pool.

Yea. So good ge ignored the directive that waec shouldn't hold in village schools leading to the chibok girls abduction. Then rewarded the principal of the school by making her a commissioner.
