This will make the Nigerian leader the first African president to do so.

The president will also address the Nigerian SMEs Business Summit where he will seek to highlight the increasingly important role of Nigerian enterprises in global trade.

Meanwhile, to mark halftime of the SDGs, a new SDG Pavilion has been constructed at the UN headquarters in New York, which will host an art exhibition during the session.

NAN reports that the SDGs’ pavilion located at the Southeast area of the building, will be hosting high-profile speakers during the high-level meeting session.

The speakers include heads of state and government, business leaders, experts and advocates for halftime talks to mobilise the world to keep the promise of the goals

“This is a moment of solidarity for our global village at our global Town Hall — the United Nations.

“With only 15 per cent of the SDG targets on track, it is time to come together to find just and equitable solutions and take them to scale,” Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed said in a statement.

“During the high-level week of the General Assembly, the SDG Pavilion will host a series of halftime talks — a collaborative mix of panel discussions, lightning talks, demonstrations, and films, as well as artistic performances focused on just and equitable solutions.”

The UN Office for Partnerships is working with Project Everyone, a not-for-profit communications agency co-founded by SDG Advocate and screenwriter, Richard Curtis, in collaboration with renowned artist, Es Devlin, to create the SDG pavilion, a unique convening space and art exhibition.
