Vice President Kashim Shettima says Africa’s continued exclusion from permanent membership of the UN Security Council undermines fairness and the legitimacy of global governance. He frames the issue as a credibility problem for international decision-making and says Nigeria will continue backing UN reform efforts.
According to the reports, Shettima reiterates Nigeria’s support for reforms aimed at making international institutions more representative, responsive and credible. One outlet emphasizes the effect on fairness and legitimacy, while the other highlights the broader goal of improving the institutions’ credibility and responsiveness. Both accounts present his remarks as part of Nigeria’s continued advocacy for urgent changes to UN structures, particularly those affecting Security Council representation.
