Nigeria Steals Spotlight at UNGA 80 Landmark Side Event

Nigeria shone brilliantly at the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), where a high-powered side event hosted at the Nigeria Mission House placed the country at the center of global attention.

The gathering, which drew an impressive roster of government officials, industry leaders, and Diaspora representatives, was hailed as a turning point in showcasing Nigeria’s vision, progress, and renewed hope for the future.

In his welcome remarks, Chief Emeka Molokwu, Chairman, Renewed Hope USA, described the event as “a defining moment where Nigeria’s Diaspora and home-based leadership united to project the nation’s achievements.” Similarly, Amb. J. K. Adebola, Global Chairman, Renewed Hope Global, called it “a platform that not only showcased Nigeria’s resilience but also reaffirmed her central role in shaping Africa’s destiny.”

Adding to the momentum, Prince Ade Omole, a Diaspora leader, emphasized the pivotal role of Nigerians abroad in driving President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR’s Renewed Hope Agenda, calling the event an affirmation of the Diaspora’s value as a bridge between home and abroad.

The event attracted a galaxy of top dignitaries including HRH Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, Emir of Kano; H.E. Senator Uba Sani, Governor of Kaduna State; HM Muhammad Ali Pate, Minister of Health and Social Welfare; Mr Ayodele Olawande Wisdom, Minister for Youth Development; Senator Abiodun Olujimi, and several top agency heads such as Engr. (Dr) Abisoye Coker-Odusote (NIMC), Mr Kashifu Inuwa Abdullahi (NITDA), Dr Khalil Suleiman Halilu (NASENI), Mrs Zubaida Umar (NEMA), Dr Princess Aderemi Adebowale (RH-NHGSFP), Dr Funmi Olotu (NASSCO), Dr Nurudeen Abubakar Zauro, Special Adviser to the President on Economic and Financial Inclusion, and Dr Andy Eyo (ECEWS), among others.

Each speaker took the stage to highlight their agency’s progress and share forward-looking strategies that align with the government’s transformative vision. From digital transformation and identity management to youth empowerment, social safety nets, emergency response, and science-driven innovation, the discussions painted a picture of a Nigeria that is not only reforming but also reimagining its role in the global economy.

By the close of the event, one message resonated clearly: Nigeria is on the rise. With President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda already delivering tangible results, this UNGA side event was more than a networking platform—it was a bold statement of Nigeria’s confidence, capacity, and commitment to shaping Africa’s and the world’s future.
