Nigeria pulls out of 90 International Organisations

The Federal Government of Nigeria has decided to pull out of 90 world organisations.

As part of plans for the country’s exit from the organisations, the Federal Executive Council has mandated a committee to come up with and present recommendations to it for ratification.

The decision is as a result of the financial implications of the country’s membership of the organisations.

The country currently owes the organisations over $70million and its failure to meet the obligations has caused the country embarrassment.

The government’s plan is for the country to belong only to organisations that are absolutely necessary.
