GOVERNOR Dauda Lawal will attend the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York, where he is expected to engage with global leaders, development partners and international organisations in a bid to attract investment and support for Zamfara State.
News Point Nigeria reports that the 81st session of the General Assembly is themed, “Restoring Trust, Managing Transformation: A United Nations That Delivers for All.”
Key meetings of the UNGA will focus on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), climate action, pandemic response, racial justice and nuclear disarmament.
The governor’s participation will provide an opportunity to showcase Zamfara State’s development priorities, build strategic partnerships and explore areas of collaboration on security, economic growth, education, healthcare and sustainable development.
Governor Lawal’s activities will begin on September 18 with a High-Level Executive Global Roundtable Side Event and the SDG Moment.
On September 21, Governor Lawal will speak at a high-level side event during the 81st Session of the United Nations General Assembly, organised by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) under the theme, “From Fragility to Opportunity: Locally Led Pathways to Peace, Resilience and Investment in Fragile Contexts.”
The event will launch the Northwest Peace, Security and Development Framework (2026–2030) and provide an opportunity to build strategic partnerships and attract investments to support its implementation.
Other important events on the governor’s itinerary include the SDG Roundtable Discussion 2026, the Clinton Global Initiative Annual Meeting, the African-Caribbean High-Level Interactive Dialogue: Redefining Influence, Accelerating Action, and the Nigeria Investment Forum.
