This prestigious conference, which will be hosted at the University of Lagos, promises to be an enriching experience for all participants from around the globe.
LMUN is a leading platform for youth engagement in international affairs. Established in 2016, it has grown to become one of the most respected Model UN conferences in Africa, attracting delegates from across the continent and beyond. The conference brings together young leaders and aspiring diplomats to discuss and propose solutions to global issues to foster diplomacy, cooperation, and understanding.
