Nigeria has won a re-election into the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) in Geneva for the 2018 to 2020 term at an election held on Monday at the UN Headquarters in New York.
The Ambassador/Deputy Permanent Representative of Nigeria to the UN, Amb. Samson Itegboje, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in New York that Ghana and Sierra Leone stepped down for Nigeria.
Itegboje said: “There were two slots for West Africa in the election and Ghana and Sierra Leone were also contesting.
“However, we reached an understanding that West African countries could not be antagonising themselves and that we have to reach a compromise.

“So we got Ghana and Sierra Leone to step down for Nigeria. But even at that, there were a lot of reach out we had to do beyond West Africa.
“So this election has once again shown that Nigeria enjoyed a lot of goodwill not only among its West African bloc countries but also in Africa and across the world”.
NAN reports that UNHRC is a UN system inter-governmental body responsible for promoting and protecting human rights around the world.
With the re-election, Nigeria, currently serving out its 2015 to 2017 term, would be among the four countries representing West Africa and the 13 countries representing Africa in the 47-seat Council.
