Nigeria joins global leaders at G20 summit in Brazil

The leaders of the 20 biggest economies in the world, as well as representatives from the African Union, European Union, and multilateral financial organizations, will meet at the summit, which is set for Monday, November 18, and Tuesday, November 19. Hunger, poverty, sustainable development, and energy transitions are among the urgent global issues that the meeting seeks to solve.

The subject for this year, “Building a Just World and a Sustainable Planet,” emphasises the necessity of a worldwide strategy to establish sustainability and justice in economic, environmental, and governance systems.

According to businessday, Nigeria will take the opportunity to reaffirm its demand for changes in international governance organisations, specifically for a permanent seat on the UN Security Council, said Bayo Onanuga, Tinubu’s special adviser on communications and strategy.

Bilateral talks to strengthen Nigeria’s economic and strategic goals

“Nigeria has continuously demonstrated its qualifications as a strong candidate for such positions and has long argued for the need to restructure global governing institutions to better reflect the realities of today’s world,” Onanuga stated.

On the margins of the summit, Tinubu is anticipated to attend a number of bilateral meetings. The goal of these interactions is to solidify alliances and draw in foreign backing for Nigeria’s growth and socioeconomic changes.

Businessday stated that a high-level delegation will accompany the president, which will include Mohammed Mohamed, director-general of the National Intelligence Agency; Sabi Abdullahi, minister of state for agriculture and food security; Hanatu Musawa, minister of art, tourism, culture, and creativity; Idi Maiha, minister of livestock development; and Yusuf Tuggar, minister of foreign affairs. 

At the end of his stay, President Tinubu is scheduled to return to Nigeria.
