President Tinubu Urges UN to Enhance Support in Nigeria's Fight Against Terrorism

President Tinubu emphasizes the importance of UN support in combating terrorism

President Bola Tinubu of Nigeria has urged the United Nations (UN) to provide more practical support in the nation's fight against terrorism. He highlighted the far-reaching consequences of terrorism, including its impact on global peace, displacement of people, and the rise of poverty. The President emphasized that future partnerships with the UN should be underpinned by the UN Charter rather than mere charity.

Tinubu made these remarks during a meeting with the Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations Office on Counter-Terrorism, Vladimir Voronkov, at the State House. He acknowledged the UN's existing efforts but urged for further collaboration and increased physical support to effectively combat terrorism.

The implications of terrorism on democracy and development

President Tinubu reiterated that terrorism poses a significant threat to democracy and development. He emphasized the need to banish terrorism in order to attain growth and prosperity. The President pointed out that terrorism consistently undermines the progress made in various sectors and contributes to instability in families and communities.

Furthermore, Tinubu noted that addressing insurgencies and terrorism requires comprehensive and swift response to ensure global peace and stability. He highlighted the crucial role of organizations like the UN in providing steady support to address the challenges posed by terrorist activities worldwide.

Meeting the basic needs of the people

In his discussion with Voronkov, President Tinubu stressed the importance of considering the basic needs of Nigerian citizens. Limited resources necessitate external support to combat terrorism effectively. Tinubu expressed concern that without consistent assistance from organizations like the UN, achieving growth and prosperity would be significantly hindered.

Looking ahead

President Tinubu called for immediate and comprehensive action to tackle the menace of terrorism. He emphasized that global peace and prosperity depend on effectively addressing and eradicating insurgencies around the world. Tinubu called on the UN to join forces with Nigeria to ensure universal stability and to provide the necessary solutions to combat terrorism.
