Ban Ki-moon, United Nations secretary-general, has hailed
President Muhammadu Buhari for his war against corruption and terrorism.
He also told Buhari that leaders across the world respect him for giving Nigeria a positive image.
Femi
Adesina, special adviser to the president on media and publicity,
quoted Ban Ki-moon as saying this during a bilateral meeting with Buhari
on the sidelines of the 71st UN general assembly in New York.
“You
are highly respected by world leaders, including myself. Your person
has given your country a positive image,” Ban Ki-moon reportedly said.
Adesina
quoted the UN scribe as saying the agency recognised the achievements
of the Buhari administration against Boko Haram, urging that human
rights be upheld always, to prevent a repeat of the scenario being
witnessed in Syria.
Ban Ki-moon also thanked the Nigerian leader
for his commitment to issues on climate change, adding that the
government should “own the Sustainable Development Goals,” for the good
of its citizens.
