Nigeria has endorsed the proposed institutional reforms in the African Union, with a focus on peace and security governance, strengthening democratic institutions, and ensuring stronger cooperation with international financial institutions and the private sector.
The country also aligned with proposed restructurings aimed at boosting domestic and regional resource mobilisation for affordable development financing and the adoption of a continental framework on reducing inequality, built on credible data, social protection, productive jobs, and inclusive industrial policies, among others.
Nigeria’s position was presented by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who is represented by Vice President Kashim Shettima, at the closed session of the 39th Ordinary Session of the Assembly of Heads of State and Government held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
