President Bola Tinubu, on Saturday told world leaders that Nigeria is ready and committed to play a major role within the G-20 and contribute to shaping a more equitable world.
Tinubu therefore called for global unity and cooperation in tackling pressing challenges, fostering inclusiveness, and establishing a fairer world order.
Special Adviser on media and publicity to the President Ajuri Ngelale in a statement said Tinubu had addressed world leaders at the ongoing G-20 summit in New Delhi.
President Tinubu acknowledged the vital role of the G-20 in shaping a rules-based world order that promotes shared prosperity and security, President Tinubu emphasized that most of today’s pressing issues are “international in character and cannot be addressed without multilateral cooperation.”
“Therefore, stronger collaboration, cooperation, and partnerships among diverse regions are the pathways to a peaceful, prosperous, and sustainable future for our world.
“This is why the role and contributions of the G-20 in shaping a new world order that is fair and rules-based can not be over-emphasized. A world that lives as one family, but is divided by staggering income inequalities and uneven access to basic social goods by the vast majority of our people cannot result in a peaceful and secure world where shared prosperity is achieved.
“I hasten to add that such rules and global governance structures of our collective dreams must be collectively designed, collectively owned, and collectively managed. This is consistent with the true spirit of One Family, mutual respect, and sustainable development.
“Nigeria is poised, able and willing to be a major player in this family of the G-20 and in shaping a new world, without whom, the family will remain incomplete,” he said.
The President congratulated India for hosting the historic summit and for successfully landing on the moon under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
