Buhari led Guterres to his office after a brief welcome ceremony, where they had a meeting before returning to brief the media.

The Nigerian President said country remains grateful to the United Nations and some world leaders for their steadfast partnership in fighting terrorism, saying the spotlight on Russia and Ukraine could easily distract from other pertinent global challenges.

President Buhari noted that the country and the African continent were already concerned that the attention on Russia and Ukraine would crowd out other issues, but the ongoing visit of the UN scribe clearly showed that “the world has not forgotten us.”

He said that the visit is important because it comes at a time when the world is paying attention to the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

He also mentioned the fight against terrorism and the importance of the UN.

In his remarks, Guterre, stated that his visit was in solidarity with terrorism victims.

As the UN scribe explained, the crisis in Ukraine forced him to postpone a trip to the country of Nigeria, but he was still excited to keep up with his two-year tradition of identifying with Ramadan.
