President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has received copies of the proposed United Nations budget for 2027.
Nigeria’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Dr. Jimoh Ibrahim, presented copies of the seven-volume budget proposal to President Tinubu at the State House, Abuja.
Dr. Ibrahim, who chairs the United Nations Advisory Committee on Administrative and Budgetary Questions (ACABQ), clarified that although the budget is still subject to scrutiny and approval by member states, it was significant to present it to the Nigerian leader.
According to him, the presentation underscores Nigeria’s strategic role in global governance and fiscal oversight within the UN system, as the ACABQ is responsible for reviewing and advising the General Assembly on the UN’s budgetary and administrative matters.
He explained that the proposed 2027 budget captures critical funding priorities of the global body, including peace and security, sustainable development, humanitarian interventions, human rights and administrative reforms aimed at enhancing the efficiency of the UN.
Dr. Ibrahim noted that presenting the budget to President Tinubu was also a mark of respect and a demonstration of Nigeria’s leadership commitment to multilateralism and fiscal accountability at the international level.
Responding, President Tinubu commended Dr. Jimoh Ibrahim for his leadership at the UN and for making Nigeria proud through his distinguished service.
The President assured that Nigeria would continue to play a pivotal role in shaping policies that promote global peace, development and financial discipline within the United Nations system.
The presentation was witnessed by top government officials at the State House.
