The Federal Republic of Nigeria has formally endorsed the Global Governance Initiative (GGI), launched by President Xi Jinping of the People’s Republic of China.
The announcement was made in Abuja by Mr. Joseph Tegbe, Director General of the Nigeria–China Strategic Partnership (NCSP), on behalf of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, and the Government of Nigeria.
Tegbe described the GGI as “a framework that speaks directly to the aspirations of nations seeking fairness, inclusivity, and shared progress in the international system.” He said the initiative’s vision aligns closely with President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, which emphasizes economic revitalization, social inclusion, and active global engagement.
According to Tegbe, the GGI’s principles—sovereign equality, adherence to international law, and commitment to multilateralism—mirror Nigeria’s foreign policy priorities. He cited Nigeria’s leadership in Africa’s long-standing campaign for permanent representation on the United Nations Security Council, its significant contributions to global peacekeeping missions, and its advocacy for transparent dispute resolution in West Africa.
He further highlighted Nigeria’s commitment to collective action through the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), the African Union (AU), and the United Nations (UN) as clear examples of its alignment with the GGI.
