The 81st session of the General Assembly is themed “Restoring Trust, Managing Transformation: A United Nations That Delivers for All.”

Key meetings of the UNGA will focus on the SDGs, climate action, pandemic response, racial justice, and nuclear disarmament.

The governor’s participation will showcase Zamfara State’s development priorities, build partnerships, and find ways to collaborate on security, economic growth, education, healthcare, and sustainable development.

Governor Lawal’s activities begin on 18 September with a High-Level Executive Global Roundtable Side Event and the SDG Moment.
