The budget, presented by Senator Jimoh Ibrahim, who chairs the UN General Assembly's Fifth Committee on Administrative and Budgetary Matters, marks the first time Nigeria has chaired the committee responsible for overseeing the UN's budget and administration in 66 years. The proposed budget includes a regular budget of approximately $3.4 billion and a peacekeeping budget of about $8.5 billion, totaling around $14 billion, or N36 trillion to N40 trillion. The document is currently a proposal and must undergo negotiations and approval by member states before implementation.
