Nigeria on Tuesday in New York assumed the rotational presidency of the UN Security Council for April. Nigeria’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Joy Ogwu, took over from Sylvie Lucas of Luxembourg, who held the presidency last month.
A statement e-mailed to the News Agency in Nigeria by the Nigeria Mission at the UN in New York, said that Nigeria would actively promote international peace and security during its presidency.
“With the support of all other members of the council, Nigeria will use its month-long presidency to actively promote the cause of international peace and security, in line with the principles of the UN Charter and the mandate of the council,” it said.
