Tinubu Sends Congrats to Jimoh Ibrahim on UN Role

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

President Tinubu highlighted that Mr Ibrahim’s election comes at a critical time for the UN. The organization is going through major financial changes while also pushing for important reforms to improve its effectiveness, accountability, and 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, providing valuable insight into fiscal management, institutional efficiency, and sustainable growth.”

President Tinubu expressed confidence that Jimoh Ibrahim’s experience and strong commitment to excellence will make Nigeria proud in the Fifth Committee and in support of the larger goals of the UN. He believes that just as reforms at home are bringing good results, Mr Ibrahim will also justify the trust placed in him as Nigeria’s Permanent Representative.

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