At the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA80), Nigeria reaffirmed its support for a two-state solution as the pathway to lasting peace between Israel and Palestine. Vice President Kashim Shettima, who delivered Nigeria’s statement at the assembly, stressed that only a fair and just resolution can end decades of conflict in the Middle East.

Shettima noted that Nigeria stands firmly with the international community in advocating for peace, justice, and security in the region. He emphasized that both Israel and Palestine deserve to live side by side in peace, within secure and internationally recognized borders.
