PRESIDENT TINUBU ADDRESSES 78TH UNITED NATIONS GENERAL ASSEMBLY; ADVOCATES UNIVERSAL SANCTION BY UN NATIONS FOR THEIR COMPANIES AND PERSONS ILLEGALLY SMUGGLING ARMS AND MINERALS INTO AND OUT OF AFRICA



President Bola Tinubu, on Tuesday in New York City, addressed world leaders at the 78th United Nations General Assembly, during which he made a firm and compelling declaration that the time is now for UN member states to show, with their actions, that they mean what they say concerning the crackdown on terror financing, economic sabotage, and illicit mineral & arms smuggling in the developing world.

Billions of dollars meant to improve the nation now fuel countless violent enterprises. If left unchecked, they will threaten peace and place national security at grave risk.

To keep faith with the tenets of this world body and the theme of this year’s Assembly, the poverty of nations must end. The pillage of one nation’s resources by the overreach of firms and people of stronger nations must now end," the President declared.


President Tinubu further noted that his aggressive economic development diplomatic push f
