The Federal Republic of Nigeria has formally endorsed the Global Governance Initiative (GGI), launched by President Xi Jinping of the People’s Republic of China.
The endorsement was communicated by Joseph Tegbe, Director General of the Nigeria–China Strategic Partnership (NCSP), on behalf of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, and the Government of Nigeria.
Speaking in Abuja, Mr. Tegbe described the GGI as “a framework that speaks directly to the aspirations of nations seeking fairness, inclusivity, and shared progress in the international system.”
He noted that the initiative’s vision aligns closely with President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, which focuses on economic revitalization, social inclusion, and global engagement.
Tegbe emphasized that the GGI’s principles—sovereign equality, adherence to international law, and commitment to multilateralism—mirror Nigeria’s foreign policy priorities.
He highlighted Nigeria’s leadership in Africa’s long-standing push for permanent representation on the United Nations Security Council, its contributions to peacekeeping, and its advocacy for transparent dispute resolution across West Africa.
He also underscored Nigeria’s role in promoting collective action through ECOWAS, the African Union, and the United Nations.
