The UN General Assembly's theme this year is "Restoring Trust, Managing Transformation: A United Nations That Delivers for All." Lawal's visit aims to highlight Zamfara's development priorities and secure backing for existing programs across various sectors.
His journey began on September 18 with a High-Level Executive Global Roundtable Side Event and a UNDP event centered on the Sustainable Development Goals. On September 21, Lawal will address a high-level side event organized by the UNDP, which will introduce the Northwest Peace, Security, and Development Framework (2026-2030). This event will aim to forge strategic partnerships and investments to facilitate its implementation.
Other engagements on Lawal's schedule include the SDG Roundtable Discussion 2026, the Clinton Global Initiative Annual Meeting, the African-Caribbean High-Level Interactive Dialogue, and the Nigeria Investment Forum. Throughout the General Assembly, talks will cover topics like the Sustainable Development Goals, climate action, pandemic response, racial equality, and nuclear disarmament.
