    Mohammed Badaru, the Minister of Defence, has said that Nigeria is open to a nuclear-free world, urging the nuclear weapon states to fulfill their obligations under the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) by taking immediate action towards a nuclear-weapon-free world.

    The defence minister noted that the country is in support for the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) and commended nations that have ratified it.

    Badaru said this while addressing delegates at the ongoing United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) 79 New York, United States.

    Badaru, in a statement from the Defence Ministry, emphasised Nigeria’s dedication to nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation and reaffirmed Nigeria’s commitment to supporting the Non-Aligned Movement and the African Group.

    He stressed the urgent need for nuclear disarmament, citing the significant threat nuclear weapons pose to international peace and humanity.

    Badaru reiterated that nuclear weapons represent a significant threat that cannot be justified amidst pressing socio-economic development needs.

    He highlighted the catastrophic humanitarian consequences of nuclear weapon use, including severe impacts on health, the environment, and economic resources.

    The minister noted that Nigeria was committed to peaceful nuclear energy applications, praising the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) for its monitoring efforts.

    Badaru reaffirmed Nigeria’s dedication to the total elimination of nuclear weapons in the world.

    He said: “While the path to disarmament is challenging, we must remain focused and resolute. Nigeria will continue to play its part in ensuring a safer world for future generations.”
