ABUJA – Nigeria’s quest to be a member of the United Nations Security Council, may tarry for a while following the inability of the members of the UN to arrive at a consensus on the matter.
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo had on September 2015 while delivering a keynote address at the launching of the Global Commission Report at the International Conference Centre in Abuja, stated that Nigeria deserves a permanent membership position in the Security Council of the United Nations, in view of the country’s contributions to international peacekeeping, size of its economy and population.
“As you know, the reform of the security council is under the responsibility of the UN General Assembly and I have appointed two co-chairs to lead the works of the inter-governmental negotiations that have been taking place for 10 years now. The UNGA President noted African countries’ divergent views on reforms, expressing her will to bring them to a point of convergence.
Meanwhile, President Buhari has called on the UN to come to the aid of the country in the rehabilitation of the Internally Displaced Persons, IDPs and destroyed infrastructure by the Boko Haram terrorists.
