President BOLA TINUBU has asserted that African nations will no longer accept a situation in which human rights advocacy is used by wealthy and powerful nations to stop developing economies from dealing decisively with actors who illicitly siphon and smuggle out the continent’s vast mineral resources.

According to a statement by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, AJURI NGELALE, the President said this while meeting with United Nations Secretary-General, ANTÓNIO GUTERRES in New York City. 

President TINUBU maintained that such situations enrich the wealthiest economies in the world at the parasitic expense of African stability and wealth creation.

The Nigerian leader also noted that a condition in which 70 per cent of the resources being devoted to the world’s poorest countries are being spent and sent back out on overheads and administrative costs, will defeat the purpose and objectives of the United Nations.
