President Muhammadu Buhari has said that the maiden visit of the United Nations Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres, to Nigeria has shown that the world has not forgotten Nigeria.
This is just as Guterres said the United Nations had called for an additional 351million dollars as part of the overall 1.1billiion dollars for the humanitarian response plan for Nigeria.
Appreciating the visit, Buhari said Nigeria remained grateful to the UN and some world leaders for their steadfast partnership in fighting terrorism, noting that the spotlight on Russia and Ukraine could easily distract from other pertinent global challenges. Buhari noted that terrorism remained a threat to global peace, security and progress, with many already killed, while millions had been displaced by insurgents over many years.
