“The two leaders also discussed the issue of permanent seat and the United Nations Security Council, and President Biden once again assured that the United States is committed to seeing Africa having two permanent seats.

“He also reiterated that he does not see any reason why one of those seats should not belong to Nigeria, given its position in Africa, its stature and its importance,” said Mr Tuggar.
