In his address yesterday at the end of his tenure as the 74th President of the assembly, the Nigerian Permanent Representative to the UN said the global body must fashion more creative ways of better delivery for those it serve in its 75th year of establishment.
The envoy said: “I am grateful to the governments that have supported the Office of the President of the General Assembly through contributions to the Trust Fund, and/or the secondment of staff. These proved critical to the success of the office. “I extend my deepest appreciation to the Department for General Assembly and Conference Management, the Department for Global Communications and the Department of Safety and Security for the dedication and selfless service of their personnel to the General Assembly. The General Assembly could not have functioned well without the dedication of the entire Secretariat staff, including those of the interpreters, protocol officers, and so on.
He said this was reflected in the High-level events the assembly had in the first days of the session, the statement of heads of delegations during the High-Level week and broad support for his priorities for the session.
