Tinubu Bars Non-Participating Officials from Attending UN’s General Assembly

In a move to curb the escalating cost of governance in Nigeria, President Bola Tinubu has issued a directive to the Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The directive mandates the suspension of visa processing for government officials intending to travel to New York for the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) unless they can provide evidence of their direct participation in UNGA’s official schedule of activities.

President Tinubu’s decision comes as part of a broader strategy to streamline expenses and prioritize efficient resource allocation within the Nigerian government.

The United Nations General Assembly is a significant global event where world leaders gather to address pressing global issues, share insights, and collaborate on solutions. President Tinubu’s initiative seeks to ensure that Nigeria’s representation at such events is purposeful and aligned with the country’s key priorities.

By restricting visa processing to only those officials who are directly engaged in UNGA’s official activities, President Tinubu aims to enhance fiscal responsibility and optimize the utilization of public resources. This move reflects the commitment of the Nigerian government to prudent financial management and effective governance.
