President Muhammadu Buhari is expected to receive President of the United Nations General Assembly (PGA) Ms Maria Espinosa, who is paying a one-day official visit to Nigeria on Monday.<\/p>\n

Espinosa\u2019s Spokesperson, Ms Monica Gravley, announced this at a media briefing at the UN headquarters in New York on Friday.<\/p>\n

According to her, the PGA\u2019s visit to Nigeria is part of her eight-day official trip to Central and West Africa beginning on Friday.<\/p>\n

The spokesperson did not disclose the agenda of the PGA\u2019s meeting with the President when asked by the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).<\/p>\n

Rather, she promised to keep reporters updated on proceedings at the meeting.<\/p>\n

Gravley said cabinet members would join Buhari in receiving the PGA, who would later meet with students of the University of Abuja.<\/p>\n

Espinosa is expected to speak on the role of multilateralism and how to respond to global challenges in a fast-changing world, according to the spokesperson.<\/p>\n

Gravley said Espinosa would also meet UN officials in the country and take part in a discussion with women on their role in promoting multilateralism.<\/p>\n

Multilateralism is an alliance of several nations, for example, the UN, pursuing a common goal.<\/p>\n

It sought to bind powerful nations, discourage unilateralism (one-sided action) and give small powers a voice and influence they could not otherwise exercise.<\/p>\n

However, the system was facing several challenges, especially the dominance of world powers such as the United States in terms of military and economic might.\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
