Former Senate President, Senator Ahmad Lawan, says Nigeria’s commitment to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) will help the country address the problems of poverty and natural disasters caused by climate change.
A United Nations report states that in 2022 alone, flooding killed at least 662 people, injured 3,174, displaced about 2.5 million, and destroyed 200,000 houses across Nigeria. Lawan spoke in a statement signed by his Media Adviser, Ezrel Tabiowo, to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the United Nations since the coming into force of the UN Charter in 1945.
Lawan, who described the UN as an indispensable platform for multilateral cooperation, advocacy and action, urged the Federal Government to remain committed to the SDGs and collaborate partners, civil society organizations and individuals to contribute to global progress. Senator Lawan said, “United Nations Day provides an opportunity to reflect on the milestones achieved thus far and the work that lies ahead.
