The president will also participate in the 68th session of the United Nations General Assembly, which is expected to focus on identifying parameters for the post-2015 global development agenda.
According to a statement by special adviser to the president on media and publicity, Reuben Abati, President Jonathan will join other world leaders for high-level discussions on ways and means of building on the progress made thus far towards achieving the millennium development goals (MDGs).
Abati hinted that the “president and members of his delegation will participate in other high-level events focussing on women, youths and civil society, human rights and the rule of law, as well as the use of information communications technology for development.
“The Nigerian delegation led by President Jonathan will also contribute to thematic debates on the role of partnerships; how stable and peaceful societies can contribute to development; and the role of potable water, sanitation and sustainable energy in the post-2015 global development agenda.”
Abati added: “Before delivering Nigeria’s statement to the 68th session of the United Nations General Assembly, which will be broadcast live by the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) on Tuesday, President Jonathan will on Monday take his administration’s drive for greater foreign investment in Nigeria to the famous New York Stock Exchange where he will be honoured with the opportunity of ringing the closing bell for the day.”
