Presidential spokesperson, Femi Adesina, says the world would learn from President Muhammadu Buhari how to overcome economic recession in times of a pandemic as he speaks at the United Nations General Assembly meeting.
Adesina stated this during an interview on Channels TV on Monday night.
According to him, several countries attending the meeting, unlike Nigeria, were yet to recover from the pandemic-induced recession.
He said, not only did Nigeria recover, that the economy “recorded a GDP growth of 5.01,” and that Buhari was going to teach the rest of the world how it was done.
The president’s spokesperson added that the President “would talk about security. He would talk about the girl child, SDGs, and so many things.”
Buhari departed Abuja on Sunday for New York to participate in the 76th Session of the United Nations General Assembly, which opened on September 14.
The theme for this year’s UNGA is “Building Resilience Through Hope – To Recover from COVID-19, Rebuild Sustainably, Respond to Needs of the Planet, Respect the Rights of People and Revitalise the United Nations.”
