UN re-opens Nigerian office after bombing

The UN has reopened its office in the Nigerian capital, Abuja, more than eight years after it was destroyed in a suicide attack by the Islamist group Boko Haram.

At least 23 people were killed and dozens wounded.

The UN has been operating in a number of smaller buildings scattered around Abuja. It has now moved back to its original location in a four-storey office rebuilt by the Nigerian government.

Thursday's opening ceremony was attended by UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs Mark Lowcock, who described it as a day for celebration and an act of defiance against terror.
