According to President Bola Tinubu, emerging and low-income economies should be included and treated fairly in international institutions.
According to Tinubu, these actions ought to be implemented in the areas of healthcare, finance, governance, and climate change.
On Saturday in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, the president gave a speech during the 17th BRICS summit.
In January, the bloc accepted Nigeria as a partner nation.
Tinubu stated that environmental degradation, the climate catastrophe, and healthcare disparities should be given more attention since they impede growth and development in a statement released on Sunday by Bayo Onanuga, the president’s special assistant on information and strategy.
He went on to say, “Africa suffers the most but has contributed the least to global emissions.”
Tinubu repeatedly emphasized that in order for emerging economies to fully benefit from numerous programs, a new road of justice that is based on fairness, sustainable technology transfer, and accessible funding is required.

Through the Great Green Wall and the African Carbon Market Initiative, the continent of Africa is paving the way. The president stated, “We are confident that COP-30 will fortify our determination to take a calculated approach to attaining a healthy global environment.”
“South-South collaboration is something that Nigeria firmly believes in. Therefore, we cannot take a passive role in international decisions pertaining to healthcare, environmental issues, debt forgiveness, financial restructuring, and climate change.
Since young people make up 70% of Nigeria’s population, we must design a future that takes into account their unique demands and concerns. As a result, Nigeria continues to be governed by its nationally determined contribution, 2050, and long-term goal.
“We are taking decisive action to mainstream climate action, accelerate the adoption of renewable energy, support nature-based solutions, bolster urban resilience, encourage South-South collaboration, align with the global renewal framework, and attain universal health coverage for all.”
