UN honours Nigerian peace keepers, hails FG’s contributions

In appreciation of the country’s significant contributions to international peacekeeping, the United Nations has honoured over 1,500 Nigerian peacekeepers serving in Liberia.
The world body also hailed the Nigerian contingent, including 92 women, for teaching in Liberia’s educational system where gaps were noticed.
The country is among the top five UN contributors to peacekeeping missions around the world.
In a statement released on Thursday by the UN Secretariat, the Acting Head of the United Nations Mission in Liberia, Mr. Louis M. Aucoin, it was disclosed that Nigeria remains “a committed ally of the UN’s efforts to bringing peace and security to the world.”
The statement also praised the Federal Government’s outstanding contribution to global security, particularly in the African region.
Earlier in the month, four Nigerian peacekeepers died while on active duty in Darfur, Sudan.
