As part of an initiative to curtail government expenditure, Nigeria's President Bola Tinubu has taken steps to streamline the Nigerian delegation for the forthcoming UN General Assembly.

President Tinubu issued a directive on Monday to the US mission in Nigeria, requesting that visas be granted exclusively to Nigerian government officials who have direct involvement in the upcoming UN event, set to be held in New York next month.

Furthermore, Mr. Tinubu specified that Nigeria's mission in New York should only accredit government officials who hold clearly defined roles at the General Assembly.

In addition to this, the president mandated that officials traveling to the United States limit the number of aides and support staff accompanying them to the UN event. He cautioned that individuals who fail to adhere to these guidelines will be excluded from the delegation.
