Nigeria’s permanent representative to the UN, Jimoh Ibrahim, has called for urgent global action to address rising geopolitical tensions, arms proliferation and emerging security threats confronting the international community.
Mr Ibrahim made the call while welcoming participants of the United States Army War College during their visit to the permanent mission of Nigeria to the UN in New York.
He said the UN must respond proactively to “heightened geopolitical tensions and major power competition”.
The Nigerian envoy also tasked the UN on emerging threats posed by artificial intelligence, cyber warfare, autonomous weapons and illicit arms transfers.
“The challenges brought by Emerging Technology and Artificial Intelligence are significant,” Mr Ibrahim said. “The rise of autonomous weapons, drones, cyber warfare and AI-driven military technology makes it hard to define, regulate or verify arms limitations. It’s crucial for the military to respond proactively to these issues.”
Mr Ibrahim said President Bola Tinubu remained committed to strengthening Nigeria’s military capacity through substantial funding, improved welfare and deeper international partnerships.
He described the visit by the college participants as a reflection of the enduring strategic relations between Nigeria and the United States in advancing global peace and security.
Mr Ibrahim commended the college for producing strategic leaders capable of navigating the complexities of modern conflict and global security.
He highlighted the outstanding achievements of Nigerian military officers trained at the institution, describing them as evidence of the professionalism and resilience of the Nigerian Armed Forces.
