Tinubu Sends Congrats to Jimoh Ibrahim on UN Appointment

President Bola Tinubu has congratulated Jimoh Ibrahim, Nigeria’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations. This is on his election as Chairman of the United Nations General Assembly Fifth Committee on Budget and Administration.

President Tinubu pointed out that Mr Ibrahim’s election comes at a key time for the United Nations. The global body is facing important financial changes while also pushing for reforms to improve its effectiveness, accountability, and long-term sustainability.

What President Tinubu Said:

“Your election to chair this important committee within weeks of official resumption at the UN validates your wealth of experience in public service, diplomacy, business leadership, and governance particularly as a member of the Nigerian Senate Committee on Budget and Appropriation and Chairman of Inter-Parliamentary Relations.

“Your previous roles in the private sector and public service distinctly equip you to provide the steady, strategic leadership required for this important responsibility.

“Through your background as a respected legal scholar with commensurate expertise in International Taxation and Business Administration, you have consistently demonstrated intellectual acumen and a deep understanding of global governance and financial systems. This has provided valuable insight into fiscal management, institutional efficiency, and sustainable growth.”

President Tinubu expressed confidence that Jimoh Ibrahim’s experience and commitment to excellence will make Nigeria proud in the Fifth Committee. He believes this will also support the broader goals of the United Nations.

“Congratulations once again on this remarkable achievement and on the confidence reposed in you by the international community,” the president ended.
