After laying the wreath, Mr Ban Ki-moon urged the UN workers not to be discouraged by the bombing, but to remain committed to their job for the advancement of humanity.
At the UN building in Nigeria’s capital city, he condemned acts of extremism by the Boko Haram terrorist group.
“Terrorism must be brought to an end not only in Nigeria but the world over so that peace could reign again among the peoples,” the UN Secretary General said.
The commemoration was part of the activities lined up for the UN Secretary General who is in Nigeria on an official visit.
On August 26, 2011 a car bomb explosion at the UN building left at least 21 persons dead and 60 wounded.
The Boko Haram sect claimed responsibility for the attack.
