His spokesperson, Stanley Nkwocha, disclosed this in a statement on Thursday, noting that during the week-long engagement, Shettima delivered President Tinubu’s national statement, where he called for comprehensive UN reforms, championed Africa’s sovereignty over its $700 billion mineral resources, and strengthened partnerships with the United Kingdom, Gates Foundation, and other global stakeholders.

Nkwocha added that the Vice-President met with UN Secretary-General António Guterres, who commended Nigeria’s push for a permanent Security Council seat.

He further revealed that Shettima highlighted Nigeria’s $200 billion energy transition opportunity to global investors and assured the Nigerian diaspora community of active engagement in Tinubu’s administration before proceeding to Germany.
